Default Brake calipers and headlight splitters...

I'm thinking about painting my brake calipers red, and getting some headlight splitters to replace my blacked out headlights.

What paint kit/decal kit have you guys used, and how easy was the process for the calipers?

And do you guys think the headlight splitters would look better on my car, or should I stay with the blacked out covers? Lowering springs will be put on soon as well.

Splitters are cool but I like the blackout covers on your car.

I think the splitters look better than the blacked out headlights... but adding a set of clear corners would be a good investment as well. I just put a set on my Alloy and they look so much better than than stock amber ones.

not sure about the red calipers as that might be too much red?? Especially against the black wheels.

I think with the black turn signals the black headlight covers would look sick. Keep them on!

They sell red caliper paint at Autozone. I've also seen some kits...should be easy.

I'm a fan of splitters and have them on my torch red.
Also painted my calipers red with the Duplicolor brush kit.
