Opinion on a DIY mod.......
on brakes. I consider myself to have a decent eye for tasteful mods on the Z but am stuck on painting brake calipers. I have to admit I like the look if colors used tie the car color in well. What are boards thoughts?

On previous cars, I've always painted them black regardless of the color. I have however seen some painted red with auto manufacturer sticker on top. It looked tasteful and OEM.

I agree. Get the caliper paint kit from Autozone/Pep Boys, it costs about $15 and comes with high temp caliper paint, a brush and brake cleaner. Its pretty easy, just clean the calipers, mask off areas you don't want paint and put about three coats on.

I painted mine red. Not so much for people to look at them and say "Oooh, those stock brakes are HOT!", but because I liked a little color against my silver car. Same reason I bought a Z with orange seats. Not so anyone would be impressed with my stock seats, but because I like a little pop of color.
