Default '04 Monte SS

I know my car isn't the nicest Monte ever (I hit a deer a couple years ago and it is not very noticeable so I don't know if I'll fix it), but I just got some new wheels from my dad as a grad present. How do you guys think they look? I'm gonna paint my brake calipers and rotors red. Would you guys recommend using caliper paint? All thoughts are appreciated!

They look good and red would look good or even yellow calipers too.

Car looks good!

Yellow calipers with a black bracket would look sharp

I second the referall for the G2 caliper kit, thing works great!

Alright, thanks guys! I can't decide between yellow or red so I'll have to give it some thought. Will one can of the G2 caliper paint do all four calipers and rotors?

I looked around a little bit and I ordered POR15 caliper paint in red from Summit. I've used POR15 for many projects and its the toughest paint around that I know of. I'm gonna try it and hopefully it stands up. Not to mention it was a third of the price for more paint.
