You can also take the rear emblem, have it painted black, and make the "NISSAN" in matching orange as well.

Or... all that, using another color. lol

thats completely.. different from how it looks onw.. you nuts man you nuts..

I voted for the deep red. I think a bright red will stand out too much and detract from your panda theme while white might be taking it too far. A deep red could look really nice if its done right. Good luck and keep us posted.

I have a customer who really wants it and has been talking to different powder manufacturers. He is going to have them send me something that might be close enough. I told him if he finds the correct powder, his coating is free, because it will be the holy grail of caliper powdercoat!

Dai,
Here are some that I think would look good:

I don't have a picture, but I'm sure you have seen Shanna's Candy Teal brakes on her G35 at Z1, that looks hot on white.

White:

Aquamarine Blue:

Crystal Red metallic:

And of course, I do have candy pink!
