Color coordination
Weird questions.
Given a PPW with bronze wheels (let's say, gram lights 57f--where the brakes are very visible), would red Stoptech calipers look bad? Bad enought to opt for black calipers which are much less noticeable? I had wanted to do a MILD red scheme under the hood (nt too much, just a few flashes) and match the calipers, but I don't know if red would go with the bronze.
Also, on the same car, C-west front lip: black carbon fiber and leave it unpainted, or FPRP and painted PPW to match?
Decisions, decisions...

that's a matter of taste. bronze wheels w/red calipers will certainly stand out much more than w/ black calipers. short term you may like and enjoy the 'louder' combo of red & bronze, but, long term that combo that you once liked will seem too loud. for long term you may want to go with a more conservetive black & bronze combo. you may not like this combo better at first than the other combo, but, you'll probably enjoy it long term.
now, if you're trying to match this with red under the hood then, you have another problem..or an easier choice, depending how you look at it.
what's more important the wheel-caliper combo or the color under the hood?
if you think you'll like the red/bronze combo in the long term, then, that's your bet..and then you can do the red underneath the hood.
hope i helped out..decisions, decisions
