White with a black Pony would really blend in great with the rest of the car.

related question: If I upgrade the brakes to say, GT500 brakes or Bullitt brakes at a later date,would I have to paint new calipers, or are they the same?

That looks the best the White goes perfect with the car and brings out the caliper and a black running horse logo with be perfect addition.

seems to me that the white w/ black pony crowd is more vocal, but the poll shows black w/ white pony winning by a fair margin

I'd like to hear from the black w/ white pony guys on why the think that looks better


Also, where does one buy caliper paint from, anyway?

Red is the only color thatPOPS! It must be me being partial to red... But since you're ruling out red I'm stickingwith white. Now for your new poll, I say be different and go with the GT/CS lettering! I've already seen the "mustang" and the running pony. Even though you can't go wrong with either of those, I've never seen "GT/CS" lettering before so I say do that

Well, I think both would look great, but I was leaning toward black because I don't know how white calipers would keep clean in the long run. With brake dust, etc., you may be spraying them off constantly to keep them looking right.

And I think you can buy caliper paint at your local Auto Zone and that will work just fine. Just make surewhatever paint you getcan withstand high heat!!!

OK, JRT1's (hopefully) joking remark (haha) gave me a wild idea that's probably not easily done, and would probably look rather stupid in the end, but since I thought of it, I have to tell someone.

What about doing a black & white checkered pattern on the calipers?

And please don't flame me because I already acknowledged that this wasn't the best idea... ...one of those things that sounds better in theory than it would actually look in real life.

Lol checkerboard calipers might work on a mini, but I doubt it'd be good for a mustang
