gibo77, those yellow calipers look awesome on your car. I think it might be b/c of the black wheels

yea, now as i look at the colors, the yellow is too green, and the orange is too poop brown. I like caravanshaka's color. its like a red/orange metallic.

I vote purple but just because I've seriously considered doing dark purple on my PG sport. I'm a huge LSU fan though and that's what inspired me. I think red is played out IMHO.

Scott told me you were looking for exchange. Look at pics in my journal to see caravans color on black, it's the same. I also have persimmon and candy purple looks great. I do exchange also

hey mike, yea i am looking to do an exchange. your work is awesome.

Are both of these pictures the same sunset orange color or is the bottom one red? I have noticed that from certain angles/different lighting they look red, and i really like that.

i'm stuck between candy red and that awesome orange you have

what do you think would look better with how my car looks in that picture? candy red or sunset orange?

The bottom of the two akebonos is candy red, like the brembos, but with a metallic base instead of chrome base. Both of the reds are about the same. I had the orange on my black car, and still have the orange lipped wheels and intake tubes, so you know I like it. I had the candy red on my black c6 and that pic of my brembos was from my 350z. The red would be less controversial.

i feel like the orange lips on your car provide enough of an accent so that the calipers don't look out of place, and thats why it looks so good. the orange on my car would be the only orange (on the outside). i'm scared it might clash with the red. my centercaps have red in them, and obviously my brake lights are red. not sure if i want orange just for the sake of not doing red. but they both look damn good. i love that metallic hue they have. i definitely want one of them just can't choose!:icon14:

I really like the red with your current setup.

i think i agree with you. I love the idea of the crazy colored calipers like green and purple, but with my setup, i just don't think it would work.

:iagree:

The red just looks right with black cars. Even if you change the scheme on your tails, the red will still look like it belongs there.

Jeffblue 08-28-2010 10:08 AM

thanks everyone for your opinions. i think red it is! a nice metallic red, gonna get in touch with mike sometime soon. i want to do it the same time as my springs.

Chris_1 09-07-2010 02:52 PM

I voted orange, but I like the red. Oh and by the way, AMAZING wheels, Gee I wonder you got you those??;);)

I think the red would be better with the color of the wheels and if your not gonna smoke the tails or anything, I think red is perfect. Oh by the way, it might be time to stop going offroading with that truck of yours?? I kid i kid
