its been a stressful summer for me, my accident, surgery, and to top it off summer school just ended this past thurs. i start real school on the 23rd freaking sucks! well i got this one week stress free so i figured i might as well do some minor moddin. well i need help guys i dont know what color to paint my rotors, my car is crystal white and i have silver wheels. picture posted below. i've opted 3 colors: silver, black, or gold. which color should i go with? i left option four as other so u can leave me feed back. i put in gold because i have gold package.


EDIT: no my caliper isnt that high i tilted my camera

I voted black. Silver will show brake dust more. Black with Lexus and L (fr and r) stencil/stickers in silver would be sweet.

Something like this maybe.

i did my stock black after i installed the ap racing (bored). black or silver, they are the best imho. and among the two i choose black

I think with a white car, black is definitely the best finish color to choose. Normally with that I would say use silver decals, but if the car has a gold package on all bright work, you might try gold decals on black calipers. I plan on doing this same upgrade when I install new X-drilled Brembo rotors with black hi-temp painted top hats. I really wanted to go with powder coating on the calipers, but the time off the car, cost, and inconvenience of disassembly and necessary caliper rebuild have convinced me to use caliper paint instead. Any advice on a color choice for a black/black GS4? I'm leaning heavily toward red with black decals. Maybe its a midlife crisis or something.

thanks guys i guess most of you guys have or prefer black painted calipers. i just have to wait now because i bought a 185pc. craftsman mechanic tool kit off of ebay and it hasnt came in yet. i posted a link of the same item i bought but its another set, same guy is selling too. what do you guys think of these tools?

Nice set, price seems reasonable. Just curious though, Craftsman is Sears's proprietary in-house brand; how does this guy get brand new sets of Sear's tools for resale? Sears used to guarantee their tools for life, I wonder if they still do?

Sears still warants defective tools, i was up there earlier checking out tools kit at the store. I turned to ebay because of a better price, i was even thinkin about getting a kit from huskies just because it was cheaper. Huskies is Homedepot in house brand and they guarantee their tools for life as well. But, meticulous as i am i craftsman is like the rolex of tools.

About the guy getting prices fairly cheap i think they're discountinued kits..not the actual pieces but they stop making a kit with that many pieces...i just searched sears.com and they dont have 185pc. kit (the one i purchased off of this guy) they do have 180pc. mechanic kit with just little differences... picture posted below...price difference i would say i saved a good 30-40bucks.. 135 off ebay, and 149.99 plus tax of course as sears excluding the extra 5pc. that i get off ebay.


side by side comparison here is the one off ebay.
