6th Gen. Brake Caliper color..
 
I gotta silver 6th gen HS.. What color do you recommend I paint them?? I have some black accent around the car.. Front bottom grille, lugnuts, headlight housing, the weather strips (actually its the GP rails) on the roof but those are getting painted silver, the same as the car..

I was thinking black but nah, then I thought polished chrome color cause maybe it would go with the black accent but nah.. Really dont think I want blue.. I could always change my mind if I saw someone else's and it looked good but..

Right now I have the stock 17" 5 spoke chrome wheels but will soon be changed to 18" MB drifters.. I want it to go with both as the stock will be used for track wheels..

Im thinking red or neon(ish) orange..

Idk whats everyone think..?

Red is always a good choice
 
Red is always a good choice, and you might be able to find some Caliper covers that you could put on for those Car show events. :thumbsup:

I never even knew these existed.. At least I dont remember but WOW are they on the expensive side..

For a set of 4, is there anything under 100$?? Dont know if I even saw under 200$..

Kinda embarrassed to ask this but, you can drive with these attached correct??

Sooooooo not worth it to purchase the $200 covers. Paint the calipers yourself the color of choice or buy new powder coated calipers.

The colors that always catch my attention is 1st, red. Then second is Yellow.

Take some colored construction paper, cut it down and scotch tape it over your calipers and then stand back and assess the different effects the colors give you.

Best of luck...
