You've been a member for almost as long as me and I've seen plenty of pics of painted red calipers on silver 350's

You can try the vid link below. There are a few silver Z's with painted red calipers.

i think anything other than black screams for attention and the stock calipers aren't nice enough to get that attention...that's why i went with black. However it is your car and you can paint them red if you want. I shouldn't be bad.

But bright white letters against a black background screams for attention as well.

I put them on to see if I like the look untill I get my Brembo BBK. Their only stickers and it takes much less time to remove those than you need repainting your calipers. I hope you are not offended by my previous post. The thing with painting them red is that the red always fades and appears dull. Not to mention, it looks like you are trying to fake a stoptech BBK. To each their own.

No, I'm not offended. The stock calipers were boring so I decided to do something about them.

Can't afford a BBK yet, and it's pointless since I don't track it often.

Ya I know what you're saying. It's not a bad temporary thing. I've painted friends' calipers red before and they always need a repaint after a couple of months.

Says the guy with stock wheels and blue lugs. Fail!

I'm just messing with you. The pic looks good.

Painted stock calipers always look like the owner is trying too hard. Oh well.
