Red Calipers or Black Calipers?

djphoenix18 · 02-12-2009, 01:02 AM

I want the ocho to decide for me: Heres the situation...

Ive already purchased the black G2 paint for my calipers along with the red Si logos for em as well.

Now, my friend Francis has graciously donated his time and photoshopped these pix for me. So now, you all decide and tell me what you think.

I wanted black because i felt red was played out. So without further ado:

^ Mind you the black calipers will have a small red Si emblem on them... The photoshop doesnt show that... yet...

Red I like when they stand out more.

djphoenix18 · 02-12-2009, 01:10 AM

Hmmm

But see i have the red lip on my front bumper, red si badges obviously, red lip on wheels...

Damn this is tough indeed

Your car is black with red Si emblems. Your wheels are black with a red pinstripe. Black caliper with red Si just fits too well to turn down.

Damnit you guys are good!

I love you all!

xrs54 · 02-12-2009, 01:21 AM

Since you have an NHBP, and a nuch of little red accents, I think the red calipers will just add to it, which IMO would look great!

djphoenix18 · 02-12-2009, 01:25 AM

^ Maaaaan

I dont know...

***HoNgKoNgKoBe*** · 02-12-2009, 01:27 AM

i say go black as well and put the red si stickers on, would look much better. and will go along with your black and red theme.

B1inky · 02-12-2009, 01:28 AM

where's the "no paint" option?

djphoenix18 · 02-12-2009, 01:28 AM

Now heres a question, the Si logo, should it go on the middle of the caliper or towards the left of the caliper?
