Ok so I have been debating! Color of calipers - 3/2/2008 3:32:02 PM

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.

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 think I will try to paint the clipers what I want the stripes to be.

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.

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
