First off let me say, KrazeMatik. Your car is awesome and I want it . I love it all: the color, the kit, the brakes, the rims, the drop. I'ts how I would do mine. Even the unpainted kit has grown on me

Next let me say to RedPhoenix that instead of chroming or polishing your calipers, you should do em in black chrome. It would stand out more than black but still have a little subtlety instead of the flashy chrome/polished "look at me". And it won't clash with your rims or your paint

Get Them a darker cherry Red then ur base coat , and make sure theyre polished they will contrast with your current paint and wont take away from your rims !

this thread was in OCT 08, Im pretty sure Matt's already chosen to paint it some color. I've polished mine but haven't put them on, I decided to do the rears as well.

I like the subtle accents, so i'll say black-"LEXUS"decal-couple coats of clear.
whatever you choose for the calipers you can always change it, don't get too hung up on it and pick something that makes you happy

When I was first into cars i would say red but since I've been modding and messing around for 6 years I would say no to red. Especially since when I was at the track the other day guys with v6 mustang and grand prix's had theirs painted and their cars were stock cept for that.
