i think if your car is the right color, and it doesnt look obnixous, it definitely makes your car stand out in a subtle way. so i wouldnt say its really ricey. plus, the look of rusted calipers on older cars doesnt exactly say "hey, my car looks nice, and i like to make it look like i care"

You can always just spray a clear on there. My whole thing is, why would you try to glorify stock calipers? The fad started with people trying to give the appearance that there car has Brembo's. Now I see Jetta's, Civic's, Eclipse's, Celica's, etc with red calipers. It really is a cheap pep boys ricer mod. Skip. Fail. Pass.
Those red calipers will look fantastic with your red underglow...
Like Brian said, why point out that you have the stock calipers on there? They stick out like a sore thumb because you have a black and white striped theme going on and then, BAM red calipers. Whats next, Brembo decals?
dammit son.. too bad you dont live nearby id get you a great deal on fixin that scratch.. i hate seeing nice stangs with that shyt.. but the calipers look real good for some cheap paint.. kinda put a great idea in my head! thanks

Im painting mine black, just because I dont like the somewhat rusted look that the stock ones get over time. But Im doing the brush on method. I agree the red really pops on this car, I might have done back on a black car, or even the grey that dupicolor has to keep them looking stock
Sorry for all the **** some guys are givin ya, I did mine in acolor close to my car and because my rims show so much of them I thought it would be good. Hey a lot of people say they look good and 1 of the judges at a show gave me points for it and how clean the were. definatly use blue painters tape and take the calipers off You can get to the hole caliper. I am going to install Hawk pads this weekend (and new braided lines) so I painted the pad outside covering. Need to show ya the back wheels with the steeda billet LCA looks Good
wow man people are giving u a lot of sh*t....its ur car do what u want...i think they look good i have painted calipers on my red truck i like the way it looks ur not tryin 2 copy the brembo look just making ur car UR own
i dont think it looks good since you painted the brake pads also, why not take 5 min and take the caliper off so you dont paint the pads or the rotor???
