RE: Painted calipers
I'm probably gonna do the same thing but i'm torn between blackand red calipers...Post a pic so i could see how it looks please.
But for other cheaper mods, I'd say to go with painting your side mirrors and side skirts (it makes a difference in your car's appearance).
Mirrors:
Stock Side Skirt (bad pic):
Whole Car (another bad pic):
Or you could get some quarter window louvers for $185 from this site (mine are coming in soon)

ANOTHER thing that i suggest (a lil more expensive)are silver or gold stripes

RE: Painted calipers
You might want to consider white or silver.. would look better. White caliper pictures are in my sig if you want to get an idea of what they look like. I get compliments all the time. Red looks funny... our calipers are relatively small.. and red says "performave Bemo" or VW to me.. which ours are not..

Thanks, butI wasn't looking for an opinion on my choice. Red works for me... I was posting a pic of myred calipersto help the poster make uphis/her mind. The mustang decal says something special about your calipers?

RE: Painted calipers
Don't take offense.. I was not responding to your post.. but to the original poster. We all appreciate you taking the time to post pics of your car. You have the the "go" to back the "show".. so you should not take my comment about red calipers too personally.
I added the decals because I like the way it looks.. White calipers look too "blank" without them in my opinion.
