Yeah but your monte is white mine is purplelish. The red looks good with the white...Im wondering if the red will look good withthe purple or make it look weird and tacky.

I would paint them a gloss black or an aluminum color.

red calipers aren't right for every color Monte (looks awesome in the right situation though)

I painted mine aluminum, I think it looks great and its not overstated

To go nice with that beautiful Purple ... I'd say YES and paint them either Aluminum or that Gun Metal Gray ... then, add the Caliper Decals you can get from that guy on eBay.

You can order the Caliper Decals to say MonteCarlo and get them in a variety of colors.
When the weather turns nice enoughto pull my wheels; I'm painting mine Aluminum and adding the decals.

Where did you get those window pieces that keep the rain water from coming in?
