What do you think? I have been trying different colors out for the past 3 or 4 years...started silver, then black, then dark blue, then red....how about yellow? I'll probably do it just to see the response...I think it wont look as good as the red ones, but I'll try it anyways? Opinions?

Yesterday you ask if we think your car is "ricey," and today you ask us if you think yellow calipers look cool?

I'd suggest something a little more "conservative" like silver.. use high temp stuff and paint the back of your pads red or green or blue (that's the color of many "good" brands of pads).. I did mine with regular red paint a few months ago and it looked really good until the first hard stop from 130-0.. now they're black again! hehe
here's a pic...

the silver has been on there for about a year, and doesn't look that great anymore.. it's time to repaint. I'll do that when I get my porterfield pads though.. no time right now.
