Persimmon Seats & Persimmon Calipers?

Brutal 370Z · 08-15-2011, 09:53 AM

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of doing persimmon calipers to match the seats. Does anyone have a picture of this. If not, can someone please photoshop this? Thanks in advance.

Your going to want to do an autumn orange color. It will look good as long as it is not too orange then it would look like a pumpkin color. I say go for it

I think almost any color of orange calipers will look decent.

I was kind of thinking bright orange so that they really stand out. I also want them to match the leather as much as possible. any opinions on this?

I would try and match the factory orange metallic color that comes on the Brembo calipers from the STI and 350z/G35. It would definitely match the Persimmon interior very nicely.

I agree!

ya that's a nice colour. had the brembo package on my old 350z. I kind of want to go a bit brighter though. would you guys prefer bright red or bright orange on my black/persimmon settup?

toxik photoshopped these a while ago when i was toying around with caliper color choices... so rep to him if they are useful:

sweet thanks Jeff. I will send reps his way. Certainly gives me a better idea.

Does anyone have a picture that shows orange brakes with the persimmon interior showing as well? Or can anyone photoshop this? Thanks!

Brutal 370Z · 08-15-2011, 02:20 PM

BTW Jeff, what colour did you end up going with? I checked your profile but no dice.

P.s. sick ride man, love the rims. Can't wait to get my "halloween car" lol

If someone wants to photoshop, this picture would probably a good candidate:

Thanks. hah i actually went with 'Grey' (ie stock). I never ended up getting my calipers PC'd since i ended up buying a '94 300zx TT so i haven't really modded the 370z since then (except for the nismo exhaust and x pipe) But yea... i still look at the persimmon and i love it

I forgot that the old brembo's were orange. In that case, I'd try to get a different shade of orange. Wouldn't want that comparison personally.

True! ya its a sweet interior. I could have got the car with the exact specs I wanted back in March (except with black interior instead), and I said screw it....worth the wait for the persimmon. So i had to factory order it. Been waiting 5 months now!
