What color calipers go best with an Alpine Silver GS?
What color calipers would you get if you had an alpine silver GS (98 and 99 2nd gen GS)?
My preference is Silver. I am about to buy the STOPTECH 355 mm (14 inches) big brake kit and I am torn between silver and black.
The pics below convince me to get silver. What do you think? Please VOTE!

hey hameed
on alpine silver the best contrast imo is black with white lettering,, my silver one i did black and when i upgraded my bro in laws brakes 2 weeks ago i did his in black
red is nice but depending the image you are trying to make red shouts out to you
silver just sort of blends and disappears into the background
but black will show off the beautiful caliper and accent your hre perfectly
just my .01 cents

I too voted Black with silver lettering. That's exactly what I have. On your car Hameed it will stand out just enough to make the big calipers be noticed between the wide spokes of the HRE's. IMO it will make the focus come back to the entire wheel rather than having to look directly at the caliper (if you painted it red or gold) or just directly at the wheel and see no caliper (if you painted it silver like the car).
BTW, great job on all the recent mods. Way to step up big!!! I like your choices too. Good job.

We have similar tastes in type of mods, even the SC (I just don't have the dinero to do that type of mod at this stage in my career!)
