NO on the green.

Blue is just ok, but it won't stand out. If you want subtle, that's the way to go.

For pop, I vote for orange or red.

I think that you would have too much blue then

How about red / yellow / orange or green :thumbsup:

How about white?? I think the best choice is blue. It would look awesome with your rims! A pop of color hiding in there. Green wouldn't match..

Leave the drums in black, they aren't worth showing off, unless you have rear disc calipers as well.

I am partial to gold calipers though. Hit them up with a clearcoat after you're done with the colour coat though.

i was considering the orange they had ..

blue looks neat too.. since it it would nearly match the body... lol make it look like a toy car or something,.

its tough.. after PS the green.. i decided against it...

i'll have to PS some white and check it out :)

Orange. If you look at the front of your car, the only true "color" other than blue is the orange in your headlight. I think it would bring that turn signal into the scheme of the car... make it look less like a safety feature and more like it belongs. I know, it is an OCD way of putting it, but it makes sense to me!

lol as always there is no resounding recommendation lol.

i'll have to think on it.

Red is definitely classic... but that doesnt mean the best option.. i'll have to play with photoshop a little more and see what i think looks best..

Doing orange to tie in the blinkers and such really isnt a bad idea... but i would think that at some point i'd probably blow some money and get the upgraded lights..

but orange was a serious option.. i think it goes good with the blue..

arg... sometimes i hate having options

You could go with caliper covers like these. They are available in a variety of colours.

i'm thinking its either going to be blue or red.. the wife doesnt like the idea at all lol.. says it looks fine the way it is.. she said that before we did the wheels too.. and she likes those now.. so she'll probably just like what i do anyways :)... lol said the same thing about the system..and she loves that
