Hmm.... Can you take a photo of your whole car? Want to get the whole picture and see how they looks from far away.

I will take them later for you to see but with the view of the whole car I don't think you can see much of the black caliber. (the RED caliber probably more visible). But I don't want too much attention that's why I went with black. I think Black, Silver and Chrome go better than Red, Silver and Chrome. Consider I blackout my rear emblem too.

Thanks.... I wish those rims come with Gun Metal instead of Chrome but I am happy with it.

I am glad I painted those calibers myself and save $140 labor charge that the local motorsport shop wanted to charge me.

Well, your car is white not silver. I just think for a silver car, black goes well as a background color.

Did you paint the calipers while still on the car, or did you take them off? I'm thinking of doing this but not sure which color to use on my sand color.

^purple would be hot...

That looks great! Very nice. Brakes don't need to be colorful.

I've painted my brake drums black already and will be doing my rotors and calipers when I service it next.
