pics of my car are below. i am beginning to think that red is overdone even though it looks great. i was also considering gold....i plan on using the g2 brush on kit. The colors include red, blue, teal, orange, pink, purple, black, silver, green and yellow. I really love bouncing ideas off u guys, gotta love nicoclub.

I think that you should go for the Gold or Yellow. It would stand out nicely with the color of your car and wheels.

Are you implying that he doesnt have "real" calipers . He just wants to change the color, thats not going to make it look like he has a BBK, just more personalized.

lol i know but i just hate to take off new brakes and replace them with a big brake kit or racing brake kit. I figure i will use them until they need to be replaced then maybe invest in a big brake kit or atleast cross drilled rotors. I just figured it might add a little more character. I was atleast going to paint them black because i don't like the look of the gunmetal rims and faded ugly silver calipers. i am just thinking it may look to ricey because they are small calipers.

why paint it when it'll eventually chip to look even more fake. And furthermore, if by personalized you mean look like he likes to suck d!ck, then you are right.

I would like to see White, I really think that is what I am going to use...but, would the break dust be just a BIT#H to keep it clean? I like yellow as a second choice.

I think black would look good on your car. I've got blue G2 and love them. Over 6 months with no chipping.

Seriously. You're the most immature person I've encountered on any adult forum since video gaming forums. I hope your parents stop paying for your "intranets" as you called it on another post. By the way, intranet means local... numb nuts.

go with black because silver is stock color and rainbow colors are rice unless they're backed by bbk.
