The silver does look nice, but it most likely will get dirty fast. So I say go black...either way will look nice though.

I just painted my calipers red on my Super White 91 SE . I like it but it might be a little rice (I can always paint them again for $3.99). I think I'm going to paint the calipers on my Deep Evergreen 96 SE Bronze Gold.

oh, don't get me wrong - blue is fine, but his car is evergreen, and i think blue would clash with the dark green paint

Paint them red.
Mine are red.
I think the red calipers look really good on a black car.

Since you have a green car. Going with black or silver would probably be the two choices. I personally like black better out of the two because when they do get dirty they look less dirtier than the silver. The silver has to be kept up.

I was my car at least once a week. My rims/calipers are always clean. If you dont wash your car then yea, they would get dirty. But some people are weird (like me) and need to have their car clean 24/7.

yeh. i have mine done gold too. i looooove gooooooold! :P


g35 comes with the gold brembos too. its nice and subtle, but noticeable still. red is too obvious, which is stupid if you have stock brakes. black and silver just wont be noticed ever.
