Hey guys. I've had my 05 for about 3 years now and I'm finally working on some changes... This week I got a FUJITA CAI, C-Mod front bump grill, and GTR front bumper. I've had my set of 20" TSW Vortex wheels on the car for over a year now but had to get them re-done. I had them powdercoated black when I first got them and have loved it.. However, with evvverything black, minor blemishes always get highlighted easily, so the minor curb rash pushed me to getting them polished up and re-powdercoated!! Got them back this week and already mounted. I have a question though.. Should I paint my calipers black and match the theme of the whole car or paint an eye-popping color (silver//yellow...) and possibly take away from the theme??!!! I've been rolling these 20's in front of ugly-semi rusty calipers for TOOO LONG! FEEDBACK PLEASE!!

Sorry for the low quality picture...they look so much better in person... iphone camera.

Give me a pic of the car and Ill do some Photoshopping using MS Paint

 

Damn dude, you got the cai, gtr bumper, c-mod grille, & powder coated vortex? The mod bug didn't just bite you, it raped you. LOL. IMO, I say paint your calipers silver or gunmetal. Good luck dude, and don't forget to show pictures!!!

 

^^ ditto on the gunmetal paint

 

Always loved those rims!

 

haha yeah i've been itching to do this stuff for awhiiile. time came!

 

Rims look berry berry nice...but we all need to see the finish product!! Im sure it looks sick. I powder coated my OEM rims gloss black and was wondering what color should i do the calipers too.

 

THE RIMS ARE HOT

 

THANKS! I'll post pics soon!

 

I also played around with caliper paint yesterday... Painted one side Silver, the other side Black to test out and I found that the Silver looked good, but I couldn't help but focus my eyes on them!! Took away from the theme. The Black def doesnt stand out at allll but IMO looked much better. I guess if I were sporting some crazy big expen$ive 4-piston Cals, making them stand out would be a must, but as for my stock set-up... black was best. PICS SOON

 

Black on Black eh? what kind of paint did you use? Im kinda of going with the whole black theme too. POST PICS!!!

 

Those wheels look great! Sounds like your max is coming along pretty nicely! I would probably paint the callipers black. Bold and bright colors IMO look good on a BBK, I've never really seen a car with stock callipers painted a bright color that looked good.
