Red is the color I went with on my white Audi. I think it looks pretty good, plus I get a lot of compliments on it.

If you're looking for a place to get good caliper paint check out www.g2usa.com

They have:
ºRed
ºYellow
ºBlue
ºSilver
ºBlack
ºPurple
ºGreen
ºWhite
ºGold

Why not just paint the wheels pink and draw attention away from your ugly stock calipers.

Angel, if you're going to do yellow calipers on a red car, the picture that comes to my mind is that I'm going to be totally disappointed if Ronald McDonald doesn't step out of your car when you park.

I just did mine last night - black - looks very nice, though you can't really see much of them with the C7 wheels. Yes, I finally put my summer rims back on last night, along with 20mm H&R spacers in the rear - the car looks so much better with the rears pushed out a little, JLo style.

EDIT: To whomever said that they'd pay to get them done - the whole operation was disgustingly simple, I really wouldn't be paranoid about screwing anything up.

Tommy,
LOL
Yeahh, you are probably right. So now I'm thinking on a different color.
Do you have any pics of your car??? It would be nice to see those calipers on black.
Thanks,

Angel

No, don't have my camera with me, but will try to get a pic or two up tomorrow. Black is nice - especially with my blue, or I'd think your red.

More so with my pink wheels. :p
