Poll: Caliper color

I'm becoming such a friggin' slave to fashion. Which caliper color would look best?

well your struts are bright red, so red would match well, silver will blend to much and black will not be noticeable enough.

I would say red or black. Silver will blend too much with the rim and may not be noticeable. Red would look best, because it matches the springs and struts. I would not use that color myself though because that is the first color ricers go to for calipers. Black of course, matches the car and would look nice, but wouldn't stand out as much.

do you have any other accent colors besides black and silver on the car? i think both would look too over done...

if i had to pick between just those two, i'd say black, since the caliper and wheel are both silver, more silver just bends. but another slightly contrasting, but still scheme'd color would fit better, imo

Edit: doh, didn't see the red option.

go red. the other two are already over exposed in that area. You want it to be noticed, right?

^^ I completely agree, red is an awesome caliper color, especially on a red car. All I'm saying is that I wouldn't get it myself because first of all, my car has nothing red and secondly, that is the first color ricers go for. I don't know, I guess they want to pretend they are brembos or something (no offense to non-ricers with red calipers).

i say red because, silver will blend with the wheels and don't think black calipers would look good

No, they'll be anodized. If I go either red or black (torn between the two) the Baer logo will be silver.
