Ever thought about painting your calipers copper like how G35 calipers are? The color looks really nice. I think the copper would actually stand out more.

I'm with korrupted, you should do copper like the G35, or if you want to get crazy do burnt orange, it would go well with the blue, especially if you had smoked lights. . .

Honestly....**whisper**gyrl2gyrl**whisper** I think bronze will clash with your rims. I would go with getting them powdercoated as close to you paint as possible. Bronze will indeed stand out, but I don't think they'll stand out in a good way. But if you do it in bronze, more power to you for being different and trying something new (bronze calipers on IIP with HB wheels).

blue is ok if u would drive with the neons on all the time, which u prob wouldn't and u don't really match callipers with demon eyes...if i was you, i would go with red, but blue would also look cool.

1. red is way overused IMO. so many people have red calipers
2. red doesn't match anything that you have going on
3. white won't look right unless you compliment it with a decal.

I'd suggest the scionpro, calipers covers to you too, because it gives a big brake kit kind of look.

thanks I decided to go blue to compliment my blue halos and blue neon lights. I plan to paint my lug nuts blue too.


Hope it looks good.

If you don't like it you can always paint over it, right? It's not a permanent mod.

Darn, now you got me thinking about this too....paint 'em or cover 'em....The cover would look cool, but I feel like I'd be cheating....if I paint them, I would powder coat them b/c it last a hell of a lot longer AND they can be cleaned easier....regular caliper paint sounds nice, but once I finish a mod (even one this small), I don't want to keep doing it every year....what's the point, ya know?

Just powder coat the calipers in a custom paint and leave the regular stuff alone....OR JUST UPGRADE YOUR DANG BRAKING SYSTEM, lol. You'll get painted calipers AND new rotors....lol

I was thinking about that too....an Endless kit is a nice setup, but I don't have ANY performance mods to compliment an upgraded system....YET! That color is hard to reproduce, but if I powder coat the calipers for now, then I should be able to make it happen.
I was just thinking about color matching them for now....I have an idea for my wheels to get powder coated too, but I'm not sure where that idea is going, lol. We'll see....

Wait....did I just thread jack? SORRY
