Need Advice
 
Was planning back in April to have my brake calipers paint matched Monterey Blue. I started having second thoughts about it, thinking that it would just be "too much" and so I never went through with it. But seeing some photos like Paige Baker's Z make me think otherwise.

And here is what my car looks like.

What do you guys think?

Why are you supporting someone who was banned from the forums and got a recent review for shoddy work?

I had no idea that he was banned, I haven't heard from him or anything about him for that matter since the beginning of April. I was just going through my email and saw an email from him telling me that my paint supplies had arrived 5 months ago.

Try to get your money back?

I don't mind the paint matching if you decide to go through with it. I just think Raul G is a motherfùcker

I'll definitely take your word on this one, I have no idea what's going on with this guy but just hearing that I'll drop the subject with him. I don't mind losing a deposit, barely and $$$. I'll change my poll question I guess from having him do it to anyone do it. :tiphat:

Lol, sorry, I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news or to be the àsshole here. I think color matched with a Nissan logo would be cool, I just don't care for people who screw the forum :tiphat:

Tell us what you end up doing. If you DO go through with it, I will have 0 issue with you, I don't care who people go to for their car, just keep us posted

It's cool to have people kinda keep you in the loop. When I did send the deposit it was somewhat of an "in the moment" decision cause I saw some cars with that set up and thought it looked good. But like I said I thought it would be "too much" for my car, I'm still on the fence about it because I think it looks good, just maybe not on my car.

Would be nice but too much matching would be overkill

Personally I think something with high contrast would be better. Kind of highlights the brakes. How about a red or deep yellow? Main thing, make sure you really like, who cares about anyone else ;)

Being a MBlue owner, I definitely think that red is a no go, and I hate to say it because I LOVE red calipers, yellow... Maybe if he has yellow elsewhere.

Maybe black with white writing? I think the black with MBlue writing would be cool too? Something to tie it in

I only have blue, black, and carbon fiber on my car. I was thinking of having them black with a blue nissan logo before but I didn't think it would really look any different, I know that too much blue and black contrast could make it look terrible and that's why I'm somewhat weighing out my options. For the record I would be fine just leaving them how they are, but like I said with some setups I think they look great and I'm just wondering if I have a set up that would work :tiphat:

Someone on the forum has a MB z with a lime green caliper. That color combo looked really good.

Grindkiezer 09-03-2013 12:43 PM

Probably talking about Boost Lee, yeah I agree it looks great but a little too bold for myself

The blue caliper in the first pic does look a little much to me but it may not be so bad with your wheels. I like the idea of black calipers with blue letters.

I actually think I'm starting to lean towards Black Calipers with blue "Nissan" logo. I think it will subtle but still noticeable, but now I'm on the search for a shop/person to do the work
