Default Painting my calipers white and a squeaky seat

2004 Mustang GT
17 inch saleen rims

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/3614/img0725nr4.jpg

Someone on here recommended I paint the calipers white to match my rims. I though that was a great idea. Any other opinions before I get this done?

Also, during normal driving the back seat squeaks and seems to jiggle around a little. I went back there but I couldn't seem to fix the problem myself. Any tips on how to remedy this?

Thanks.

Car looks good man. White would look good, but practically speaking if you didnt clean them constantly then it would look like crap. If its garage kept I wouldnt worry too much. I just painted mine black (writeup coming soon) and I think it came out well, almost makes them "hidden". I'll get some pics up soon.

Painting them white would look great....if you never plan on driving it! Go with black.

Black with white decals It'll still match and look GREAT.

I don't know about the backseat though.

This might sound just a little off the wall...but I'd go with fire red. It'll contrastgreatly with the wheel work on the inside, the rims on the outside, and the tail lights. White woulddefinitely get dirty REALLY quick!

Duplicolor sells kits at Advanced Auto, AutoZone, and fom numerous sites online...

Red is classic for calipers although black also looks good. You have one slick car, my man!

painted calipers really give you a nice edge. i went with red and loved it. it's any easy and inexpensive mod that shows you've gone the extra step to make sure your stang looks great!
