Well I got my gxp calipers in the mail yesterday. One brand spankin new and the other used from a junk yard. While I'd love to keep them as is one of them is staved up a bit and needs repainting. Should I keep them red? What color would look good on my car.

Here's a pic of the calipers:

Chime in guys and gals.
 


I think the red on black would look nice.. But.. you would need to do something about the other two calipers or it will look off..
 
Yellow calipers. All the way. You can even leave the bracket black.. but it would be even more awesome if it was all yellow.

Nice EV5's too.
 


Dude.. how many black cars do you see with red calipers? Come on man.. don't be like everyone else. You know you want yellow. Honestly if it was me, I'd do yellow in a heart beat. I'm trying to find a picture of the new CTS-V coupes that come black on black with yellow calipers... f*cking sexy dude.

ya know, i was thinking i'd do red on mine someday, as i have a black car, but the yellow looks to be the way to go.

back in the day we built up a 327 and dropped it into a 70 chevelle we wound up painting the block red and the heads yellow, it was different but everyone liked it a lot, so maybe ill go with that color when i do my engine build. and carry the yellow around the car some, not much, just enough, no over kill, i think you could easily go to far. yellow calipers and maybe a yellow pinstripe around the rim, and that would be it for the outside. well with the yellow anyways.
 
I vote yellow and get a yellow arrowhead inlay. Or red/silver but both have been done so many times...so be different go yellow!!
