Default Painting Calipers!?!

So this weekend me and a buddy of mine are getting together to paint our calipers.

I have an 2000 electric green stang with 18x9 black bullittsall the way around.


Was wondering what color you think would look good? And also if you guys have any pix to help me make my decision!


Thanks!!!

No they are decals/stickers that go right on the front two.. The rears will not support them though.. I've never had any problems with them..

Heres the ebay link for them..

Or contact this guy to see if you can get the green ones sized down to fit, he has them in green..
