well need an idea

Alright i have a sunlight sand I30t.. i was wondering if you guys think it would look good to paint the Brake Calipers Red.. or any other color.. the paint on the car is in GREAT shape.. and i was just wondering if you think it would make the car look Sportier, faster. Cause i know it helps on my freinds IS300.

Yes paint them?
And what color?

def. not red... your car color is too elegante for that. Maybe silver would look nice.

Not much for painted calipers myself. And I don't know that they're a good match for an I30, but at least promise you won't do them in yellow.

IMHO painting calipers won't make your car faster

I would not do anything except black or silver....but I would most likely just leave them be.

I've done black on mine and silver(dark silver) on a buddy's max. They both look good....basically you don't even notice them, but they look much nicer than stock.
Red = IMO
