Ok so far the plans, appearance wise, with my s197 are painted calipers and stripes. After I get either the roush front bumper or the cdc classic chin spoiler I am going to be putting some metal flake tan stripes on the car. SO should I go with windveil blue calipers or paint them the same color I will be painting my stripes? Anyone have pics of their painted calipers on their windveil blue? Thanks!

[>:] tan on windveil sounds interesting. any pics your basing this off?

it could look cool to paint the calipers the same color as the stripe.

I think blue calipers would look better and stand out more. I don't think I'd even notice tan calipers.

Well I guess not really tan but more of a darker color. Not quite brown though!

do you have stock rims?

i guess you could always paint your calipers gold. not sure how that would look. kinda hard to picture.

I am thinkin of redoin them a diff color someday.. maybe your decision will help ;)

I do have to say I like how the red calipers bring the red lights together with the car.

It's funny, my stang is Windveil blue and I have been trying to figure out what color to go with on my calipers also. I was considering Windveil blue or Black....

Oddysey,

Did you ever decide what color you were going to paint your calipers?

Thanks

Nothing wrong with matching the color of the car.
