In that case, I think a red "brembo" look would be cool. (in reply to cejaay13) Post #: 10

One thing to consider though when you pick your color...are you going to be doing stripes or and any interior colors or what not that you could tie in with??? _____________________________ I'm not having fun anymore, cya later on.
