I'm thinking about red calipers, and I'd like some opinions. If I do it, I will be getting the MGP caliper covers. I personally think the stock calipers look like crap, painting it red will just draw attention to how ugly it looks. But I think a hint of red on that car would make it pop more, since I will also be adding the 3.7 badges on my fender once they come out (same font as the 5.0 badge, except black numbers and has the same red dot).

Here's my car as it currently sits:



Yay or nay?

 

Absolutely not!!! I think you should do them black if anything but red would look ugly in my opinion

 

Oh, and here's a photoshop'd pic by Xeno down in the Chop Shop section

 

nice photoshop work. red really does stand out pretty well. lets see the blacks.

btw. ur front windsplitter. where did u get those?? or if u made it, wat material r u using?

 

It's a GT bumper with BOSS splitters. Installed them when they were still kinda "fresh." Now, everybody and their grandmother has the same set up. I would've gone Roush had I known.

 

A lot of people on the forum may have it but I bet you are the only one around your house with the same bumper and splitter.

I really like the red calipers, gives it a good contrast.

 

NICE car you got there JimmyM! My favorite color too

I think the red looks nice in terms of contrast from the white/black... BUT, 3 different colors may be too much IMO. I decided on black for my calipers, just because it flows better with the black/white I have currently...

So are you painting the calipers? Or maybe caliper covers? The covers seem less messy to me (and won't fade/chip/peel), but the covers (from americanmuscle) seem like a disaster waiting to happen lol.

 

def yay on the calipers, and love the front

 

I think either red or black would go well with your car. I did the paint the calipers thing but got tired of having to repaint them every year because of chips and flaking so I finally went with the MGP caliper covers in black. Here's a few pics of what they look like on the car...

 

Red, Black calipers are a statement(s) color. Red if you want them to be noticed and black if your looking to make them look good but not stand out.
The last time I painted my calipers I painted them Screaming yellow.
