Chrome/silver or the gold colored calipers like the 350z track edition has. That would be hot.

What colors are you considering?

I just ordered a black kit for my 2k1, Gray Luster. I think black would look good on yours. But if you want a color that stands out more, what about red? I dont think yellow or blue would look good with that color Max. And the silver might clash with the Titanium silver. My .02.

Yeah.. Red gets dirty.. But black turns grey and isn't really that noticeable..

Go with blue..

Painted mine black, used 6 dollar Pep Boys spray. Works great, easy as anything and I didn't have to spend 40 bucks either. Andy would agree with me I'm sure.
