  • Mods coming through for ME!

    So, more spending, just small stuff though....My short shifter came in, so install it tommorrow.....I just picked up a deal on Hella R/C/C/R tails which should look awesome with the crystals I have in the fronts (thanks al), a Kamei badgeless grille, and a Rieger Hatch blend.....so it starts, you guys are a bad influence!! Next up is the lowering (maybe April), a Forge 007, the various under hood colour match (see the discussion under general), an ICC spoiler and some joeying, and maybe a chip of somesort! I'm opting out of the Angels, because I want to use Red instead of blue, so I would hardly use them.... Ahhh.....my car is finally my own!!

    So, Opinion time!! I want to do my calipers, so I have a couple of options, which I am kinda waffling on....so help me out!! I want Blue calipers, like the R32, looks neat on Red, but not sure if it will suit my Monte Carlos (too many colours going on...) , or standard Red, which would look clean, but not unique....I know this thread is useless without pictures, but the whoretex has plenty!

    Anywho, wanted to share, I'm getting excited!

    I have red and I like it. But since you have a red car, you should consider yellow or black IMHO.

        I'd go with black calipers too. I nearly did them on my silverstone, but wanted to jazz it up a little. With a red car, I don't think blue would look that good, and red would be too much. Silver seems like a waste of paint, since it nearly looks stock, black seems to be the best option IMO. What SS kit did you get. I hope my Dieselgeek gets here in the next day or two, I expect it was held up at the border.

          I think blue calipers would look like ASS on your car, because they sure do on any R32 that isn't blue. I would recommend black or silver.

          I painted mine silver, on my silver car. Yes I know its not that much different from stock, but after 90,000km, stock wasn't silver anymore, they were blotchy and black. So now they're a nice bright silver that matches the rest of the car and is very easy to wipe clean, looks sharp too.

            I am gonna do mine blue... I think I can get away with it since I don't have red tails and there really isn't any other color anywhere else on the car.

                Uugggghhh, black is too plain for me, I did lots of black calipers (white grand am.....) I did yellow on my met red Beretta GTZ, blue on my Shelby's.....black on my Beemer, red on my red Fiero....I dunno, guess I could just try each colour, and stick with the one I like best.....

                Oh, and shifter I got is Autothority.....

                    Do each brake a different color.
