@websocal here is a side view of my car when it was raining last lol.
BTW can any of you photo shop guys do the gold color, red color and silver color for me so i can make up my mind?? Thanks
you can see the window trim is all black. used some tape from a place online called outmotoring.com i purchased two rolls of the black out window trim they sell for the mini coopers worked great cheap and easy mod if you live close enough i would put it on for you.

Justin, IMO the black would blend in too much, as is the case currently. Silver and gold, while the car is in motion, would still be seen nicely. Looking forward to the outcome with whichever color you decide. Again, love your MRM with the ARKYM CF accents all around

Gold/yellow would stand out. What about blue? Just ordered blue G2 paint for my ISF. I think blue caliper w/ white Brembo decals goes smoothly with SFP. Can't wait to start this project next weekend.

Is your roof painted or wrapped? Your roof looks like mine but mine is painted matte gray.

alright so I ended up color matching my calipers after all this debate and I like it since its not too bold and does not clash with the over all theme of the car.... and once my new concave ADV07 MV.2's in brushed titanium get to me by end of May I think the car should be ballin
it took my 5 hours to paint and i changed my front pads too because i was tired of all the squealing going on with the EBC yellow stuff pads.... now using wearever and i have only driven on them for a week and they work great for daily driving. havent dont any canyon cruising so duno about that lol

im not sure they are all pretty standard on ebay never really paid attention to the size just ordered from one guy who supplied two larger decals and two smaller decals
