I have the cross drilled rotors and new rims so you can see the calipers more now.

With white, there are many colors that will look good. Ive seen a lot of red. You can also go silver, black, yellow, or blue. But I would recommend red to stand out a bit more.

I like the look of red a lot. I disagree with whoever said that it looks amature and the bronze looks professional. The red does look professional as a lot of the high permormance brake systems have red calipers. Its up to you , its what you like.

BLACK, dear god please BLACK and not RED. RICE = RED Calipers + White Maxima. If you have an upgraded brake kit, then and only then, does red look good. But on stock calipers, just paint them black.

Dont get any of the bright colors. It will just draw attention away from the rest of your car.

I think that black would look killer!

Did you decide yet?

I painted mine red yesterday and wanted to get pics up. It was very easy to do. I just taped newspaper around the rotors and sprayed away. Very happy with the results. The pics aren't the best, I should have moved the wheels slightly so the calipers could have been seen more.

Why silver. Paint it black. Easy to clean and looks nice. The calipers are already silver.

DonGfun, we have the same rims.. looking good

My max is black though, and the calipers are black too.

Get a drop man, the front looks like a 4x4

Keep it up man
