I say a nice silver. Red doesnt look bad on the stockers as far as im concerned they have to be of high quality though. red or silver would be my pics. Try to get the 350z stickers to go on them too i think they look really hawt.

I like blue on DB, with silver "350Z" or "Nissan" lettering.

You are looking at painting the stock calipers(15 dollars) and buying oem brembo, (1500+ dollars) Huge difference.

His rims seem to look flush though. every other person with your rim sems to have a higher offset. Are you talking about stock or aftermarket brembos? I'm not sure if your rear offset will fit the stock brembos .

I was debating this same thing this summer, and I decided to go with the red calipers with the 350Z stickers in the fronts only. IMO i dont think its rice, i dont have 1500 to spend on after market brakes, and i think painting them black is pointless. I've got good feedback on them one girl even asked if i got new brakes, lol .

I originally painted my '06 calipers red and they looked okay. I recently re-painted the calipers black and I think it looks much better (it blends more with my smoked out look). I just need to get those silver decals to complete the look.

i just don't get why people say they don't have money to spend on a BBK but paint their calipers and put a 350z sticker on it. What is the point of that? BBK should help with brake fade and has great looks. Basically the people who paint their calipers are only for looks. And the 350z sticker...i don't think it's necessary. I think everyone knows the car is a 350z, no reason to plaster it all over the car.
