    something eye catching since it is behind flat black wheels, I say a bright red would be nice

    I did Blue Calipers on my WRB with Gold Wheels and really like it. It doesn't stand out much, which is what I like, and it is not Gold, Red or Black like everyones Calipers.

    If I remember to, I will try to take a picture tonight after work. Will probably forget by then though.

    I would have, but I havent even narrowed what I might like down enough to justify a poll. ;p

    plus I wanted people to talk about their ideas and not only vote.

    i'm leaning toward the wrb, red, or gold, myself.

    If i were going green, since my car is wrb, I'd go with a really hot green with a bit of flouresence. But then the body would need some green pop somewhere else i think, like a green pinstrip with a black border. That would be tite...maybe... photoshop anyone?

    Miller's Powdercoating on Wayside Ct. off Arcado Rd. in Lilburn, they do powdercoating and ceramic coating, and have done many engine parts for us and they always turn out great. They have a pretty big place and they will treat you right

    OEM Calipers = flat black IMO. ;)

    I just upgraded my Civic to S2000 calipers (11" rotor) in the front and RSX calipers (10.2" rotor) in the rear.....both are flat black...


    ....nothing to look at...move along....
