Caliper paint photoshop?

zenith931 · 06-26-2007, 08:54 PM

Anyone mind doing a caliper paint photo shop on my car? Debating between gloss black and red. I'm kinda leaning towards black, but was wondering what it'd look like first. Here's the best pic I got of the caliper.

I am worried that red stands out too much for my stock calipers. Especially on my EX! Black might be a better way to go, I think.

Lol, oh well... trying to eat after a 13 hour day and photoshop at the same time leads to that kind of thing. Close enough to get the idea though!

Yes, but you need 3mm spacers on the front. Otherwise they fit great!

Thanks for the photochops anyhow! I appreciate you doing both. The red really does look nice, but I don't think I need to show off the moderately-unsportiness off my EX.

I think some brake caliper decals (any suggestions on where to get them?!) with black paint would look good. If I had an Si, I'd def be going for red.

inyong, I just love seeing your Si! So sexy! Where'd you get your caliper decals? Also, those headlights look good, despite what others think.
