I voted blue only because all I can see is the outside of your car , and I think blue would look clean.
I like the red too...it would even out the red coming from your tail lights better by bringing that color to your brakes.

Ultimately I think it depends on your color them.
What color theme do you have in the engine bay and interior? If blue I would carry that to your brakes....if red I would carry that to your brakes.

back when i had my non brembo calipers i painted them silver with teal lug nuts and black wheels they looked really good since they drew enough attention to be noticed but not enough to be over the top. the candy blue looks sexy too though. I think it would really pop with gold lugs and brembo decals.

Again, great looking Z op! That is modding down well and clean. Twan you have some competition on the blue ST Z....get you some 06 lights.

1 suggestion, if you do pc the brakes, get some of your other accents done as well. Like the tow hook.

Remove your hood prop bar, you do no need it. where is your coolant overflow tank, just below the long charge pipe?

Thanks, and yea thats whats been bothering me if I do go with red or some off color I'd have to change the tow hook color along with the lugs. I've kept the hood prop bar because when I have the hood open for a long duration of time I use it to keep some of the weight off the shocks lol. Also my coolant overflow is where the momentum cap is near the charge pipe on the passenger side.

Go with something that sticks out, like Porsche Yellow.

These would be my choices with your already existing colors.

Your reflectors cleared out would make the mag blue pop. Clears wouldn't really match the orange, so you'd keep those as-is, if you did go orange.
