i would go a nice blood red like the brembos, because theyre gonna reflect off of the lip of the meisters and show that awesome color when u see the car at the right angles. and its gonna look awesome, and i would do either white or gold lettering.

You guys are actually throwing out some ideas that I never thought of. I thought about the dark blue color that the Work stickers are, but then figured it would still be too dark...... might as well be black. Also, I don't mind going with a slightly brighter color since the big spokes of the Meisters hide even the big Stoptech calipers. You can barely see them in the 1st pic.

I have always loved the blue that is used on Endless, but I didn't know if I would want to use that color since they are not Endless brakes. Don't want to be a poser! : )

I would of said there was no way in hell that I would have white calipers, until I saw them on a car. I was actually kind of fond of them.

I am going to rule out black since that's what I have now.

Keep them coming!

i agree about not using other brake manu's color schemes... maybe gold w/blue letters like the rims? or a 2 layer gold with blue to give it a bit of lustre...? either way your car looks tyte!

I say the R35 GTR gold brembo color. Its more of an metallic orangy gold. That way it is differentiated between the gold wheels.

White calipers is the stupidest idea ever. You would have to clean those every day and get low dust pads just to keep them looking decent.

And no blues, yellows, and reds. It will just throw off the whole theme of the car and make it look ricey.

blue. a deep, dark blue. not bright and vibrant, although still of the glossy aspect. but a deep dark blue would set the gold off very well

Well, so far it looks like there is no magical color combo. It seems like a few people are thinking the Work blue with maybe gold lettering. Reminds me of the St. Louis Rams colors .

My only concern is the Work blue is fairly dark..... might look pretty much like black behind there.

I would highly consider the polished calipers if it was a show car..... it's not.

Yellow is absolutely the worst color I can think of, so don't bother suggesting it.
