I've done red on silver body color as well as white and they both stood out nicely.

If you can match your car paint or really close I think it'd look good as well.

Silver blends in to much (IMO) and the standard black looks fine.

Isn't it a pain to clean the calipers? I have the 2010/11 stock wheels, which I love.
There are so hard to clean and the calipers are really hiding behind them.

Yea calipers are hard to clean with stock rims but my new rims are easy to clean plus I switched my front pads to Wearever pads and they literally make zero dust and are perfect IMO for daily driving. No noise and no dust so everything stays clean

looks really good, good choice, and thanks for the info for the black tape to cover the chrome window trim, I love the way it looks on my OB ISF.

What was wrong with the yellows? I, and a couple of the 350s, were lookin at the set. Could you elaborate?

You can join the discussion below, although you have a man's car and the rest of us boys have to play pretend lol, you may have some insight.

Any EBC YellowStuff brake pad users here?

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
Murph your car looks Killa! Have you found the wearever pads are less dusty than OEM?
Your changing wheels again? Those wheels you currently have really suit the car.
