Default Caliper Color?

So not really much i want to do with the car except a new front bumper, fiberglass is a pain in my butt! But figured a cheap easy mod would be to paint the brake calipers while i have a day off. Threw a poll up so let me know what color would look best.

P.S. If anyone is good at photoshop pictures would help too, thanks =)

I wouldn't paint them. If they are full of brake dust, just give'em a good scrub'n and leave them as is

Why draw attention to little bitty ugly brakes? Forget the paint and get a BBK.

if you have the factory non brembos i dont see any reason to painting them any other color cept black or silver. Why would you want people to see your tiny, ugly, non brembos??? lol, if anything paint it silver just to give it a cleaner look vs the oem gray...just my .02cents

1. Wrong forum (you should know better)

2. Leave them black and save up for a Stoptech Stage 2 kit
