I think it would look good. Do you have afteermarket wheels?

If you don't like it after you are done, there is always the black krylon can!

Not rice as long as they look good. I think it is a good detail and perhaps a glaring omission on an otherwise squared-away car.

i dont think some cars look good with calipers painted the same color as the vehicle. some cars look good with another color that goes with the car, like if you have your engine done in a color, that same color. i have a blue emerald s14 and i painted my calipers bright yellow, i also have my engine done in bright yellow. it looks real good.

daniel has agood point.

the caliper color should contrast in some fashion.Silver car red calipers, red car yellow calipers etc etc,

Worst thing in the world is a painted caliper that heats up and changes from shades of red....to pink. use good paint.
