Default Painted calipers and new pics

Well I did a few little things to my stang over the past few days. I painted the mufflers black, got the GT ford center caps for my wheels, and I painted the front calipers red. I want to ask what you guys think about it. I am going to be getting a CDC chin spoiler, hood scoop, gt500 rear spoiler, and other stuff real soon. Im just debating on whether bright red calipers are too much for a mustang with stock everything else right now. I am debating on whether I want to paint the bracket black and leave the actual caliper red, or just painting them black.. tell me what you think..







Then I took a few pics with my cars together, and thought I would share.

Do it. It's a cheap mod that draws attention. just makes sure to consider black yellow silver and white. you would want them to match any future stripes you plan on putting on.

Very nice. Which CDC chin are you getting? Classic or Aggressive? I liker the aggressive myself esp. for a black stangs. As for the GT500 spoiler, go to spoiler store via ebay. Way cheaper there.
Love the shot with your 2 cars.

They look good red, but I think they would look better black. Also, I think it would look great if you change out the amber turn signals. You can get some smoked ones on ebay for like $40.

hey guys! yeah I decided I did not like them red so I stripped the paint of my calipers. Now they are back to stock looking. I tried to go to the spoiler store on ebay to order my GT500 spoiler but they have seem to have taken the GT500 spoilers and gt hood scoop off of their ebay store. Anybody have their number so I can try to call and order one? Oh and btw hotwheelracer I saw you driving down eastern the other day... car looks good man!
