Default What color calipers for a MRM ISF?

I was wondering what color calipers I should put on my red ISF. I was thinking about ultrasonic blue like Zapa's, but I would like to figure out some more colors I like. Any ideas? Thanks!

Do a color no one has done...like poop brown. The color from a gtr caliper would look good.

With MRM, I'd go with a bronze/gold color, as 4TehNguyen pointed out. Some have done a blue color, and I've heard from some members and onlookers that it really mimics the F-sport brake caliper color. That could be good or bad to some people. If you want something that stands out, maybe yellow calipers. I've seen a few cars with red exterior and yellow calipers and they just go well together.

Here's another good example on Murph145's car:



I know it's kind of tough to see here, but there should be lots of pics of his F around on the forums and I remember it looking very good. I was thinking trying to match MRM might be the only way to go, to bronze might look nice also!

I have a MRM.
I am considering the "classic" Brembo red for my F.
I have the same color combo on my cayenne gts.

The only thing holding me back is the very bad access to the calipers with my 2010/11 wheels.
It is going to be really tough to keep the calipers nice and clean :-(

Since MYISF is MRM I like this thread... However, this is a tough one and very personal as well...I would think it would depend on what u r trying to do with the overall look of the car (wheels, emblems, etc...)...possibly??? For instance, the only thing I hated about the stock (2009) wheels is that they covered up my beautiful gloss black Brembo's...and I thought many times about what color I would paint them but came to find out that they look great in gloss black when you have a wheel (CV3) that shows them off (see below...sorry as I don't have any up close pics of the front) Plus I went with a "black out" theme on MYISF so it works for me...good luck with what ever u decide and I am subscribed to this thread as someone might show something I like better than what I have...
