Default Brake caliper colour

What colour should I paint the brake callipers on the GS? Was thinking about red but that's too common and sporty. Gloss black would look good with these stickers




Got em off of eBay

U have a nice black and red combo going on, u need 19 or 20" wheels in black color also, u can get the calipers gloss black painted and put the F decals in white color. I have a black color and I'm thinking to do yellow with black decals.

Gloss black calipers will look nice with the red decal.

Gloss black calipers with white decals would give it a nice contrast.

I like yellow but on your car I think the gloss black would look really good with white decals

I went with gloss black and silver logos on mine to match the color of my car. My inner barrels are also powder coated same color as my car so I think it all ties in together nicely.
