Sticking with my black and white theme here. I just changed up the calipers to black (white was too hard to keep clean and with swapping tires at the track frequently the white showed any chip easily).











Need to wash up the car and do some touch up on the brake pads themselves, couldn't keep the G2 paint off them so I'll use some flat black to cover the G2 gloss.

I also went with the subtle black painted calipers. However, if I had red accents or red interior, I may have gone with red.

I painted mine red, they get a lot of compliments, but I feel like everyone has them now

If you want them to stick out blue, red, or yellow would work. Subdued and hidden black is your baby. Silver would be somewhere in between.
