View Full Version : Ok so I have been debating! Color of calipers
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!
Devil Wolf 03-02-2008, 05:34 PM [>:] 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.
boochy 03-02-2008, 05:36 PM I think blue calipers would look better and stand out more. I don't think I'd even notice tan calipers.
No pics. I guess I might be the first :) I have it in my head what it will look like. I want it to really sparkle too:)I thinkI will try to paint the cliperswhat I want the stripes tobe. :D
Well I guess not really tan but more of a darker color. Not quite brown though!

rtredline 03-02-2008, 05:40 PM The tan will look good...Theres one here in town with that same colour combo...id go with the tan on the calipers aswell...
Devil Wolf 03-02-2008, 05:41 PM do you have stock rims?
i guess you could always paint your calipers gold. not sure how that would look. kinda hard to picture.

Here are mine in red.
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.

TPony 03-02-2008, 08:19 PM I think red would look good.
Yeah they look good on Fred's car :)
ODDYSEY 03-02-2008, 10:56 PM 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....

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

drbobvs 05-12-2008, 02:59 PM Nothing wrong with matching the color of the car.
