Default ISF Caliper Thoughts

So I’ve recently copped up a nice clean 08 ISF with Chrome/Silver Rims on it!!

My dad has a body shop we paint and fix cars so I figured I paint my calipers but I can’t wrap my head around what color would go good with this beast…

Grey metallic minca I believe it the color on this car

I’m not really a fan of the red tbh drop a pic of your MGM ISF caliper color choice!!

Congrats! I'd suggest getting rid of the chrome rims thought....
Yellow and red seem to be the most popular caliper colors (along with black ofcourse).
Good luck!

Welcome to the group! Looks like you're in the NYC area, would love to meet one day.
Caliper colors are subjective and everyone has their preferences. MGM doesn't clash with many colors but you need to decide if you want bright/flashy or subtle. Black is the OEM color but I have seen red, blue, orange, tsilver, yellow, lime green, and purple. I would suggest taking a scroll through the photo thread or wheel thread to get ideas. Here are links to the threads:

Thanks! Yeah I want to get some OEM rims soon to be honest I just wonder how much these rims are worth?

Im really leaning towards yellow for the calipers I just wish there was a visualizer to see what it would look like

Yup I’m in NYC Queens!
MGM doesn’t really go well with many colors your right which sucks! I wanna say I’m definitely leaning towards bright and flashy just cause everyone has red or black calipers nowadays.
will take a look at the thread and make my final decision by the time the new brake hardware arrive!

btw you can pm me your instagram or something we can meet up one day!

thanks.

I went though the same long process of deciding.
I would just browse through the photos of others and see what might be liking.

I'm biased but I think USB would look great against the exterior. Yellow and red also look nice, but they're a bit played out IMO. Maybe go completely crazy and do a nice viper green?

Haha I had red on my Audi and my 350 before I painted it back to black, this time I want a color more flashy and bright to make them stand out leaning towards a orange or blue… tough

I saw some guy on here with the same color F with a viper green caliper color and to be fair it is very flashy just feel like it won’t suit my taste, however a usb blue with the blue decal on the rim center cap would look hot, but I kind of do want to put on lexus hub caps.

I like it! I love that color on a c6 corvette, I think I’d like it even more as an understated accent color on calipers
