Default Your opinion on a couple things...

Well I have plenty of go fast parts but nothing except for lowering springs that have added to the appearance of my WS6. I want to paint the calipers but am stuck between silver, black, and red. I think red would stick out too much for me but if you have pics they may sway my decision. I would paint the bracket another color so it would be like black calipers w/ silver bracket etc. etc. I am definetly going to tint the windows I think I will do 13% or so like I had on my old LT1. As for wheels I want to keep the stockers and either strip the clearcoat and polish them or strip them and have them powder coated black chrome like pictured below. I think it would look good and be very different but if they don't turn out good then I'm screwed. I've done alot of thinking and am not getting anywhere just yet so curious on some other peoples opinions or if I should just leave it...

black bracket with a red caliper i think would look the best. i think just a nice polish would be good. i think black chrome looks better on darker colored cars. just my 2 cents

I would go with the Black Chrome WS6 wheels. Then Red Calipers w/ Silver Formula Logos on them or the reverse of that combo.

If you change the finish on your wheels, I would suggest having the rears widened. That would be a subtle touch to have some wide meats on stock appearing rims. I thought about doing this to a set of salad shooters for a sleeper look when I wanted to change things up.

I like the red caliper look, its hard to make it look bad on a car. Should look really good with black chrome wheels!
