Hey guys I need your help!!

I've decided to do some big brakes on the GTR, but can't for the life of me decied what color to get the calipers or if I shold go slotted or drilled rotor's

I'm partial to black. But if I had your car I might decide to go with gold.

Edit: You should make a poll, that way, you get more feedback.

Behind black wheels I would think gold can look pretty nice.

Black Wheels= Gold Calipers.
Gold Wheels- Red Calipers.

Definitely gold. Black would be invisible behind your black wheels. Silver is sort of plain on a Skyline- maybe too understated or stock-looking. Red would be my second choice.
