Those with ground calipers for drag wheel clearance did you paint them? I have ground calipers on my 2002, and am afraid that they will look stupid painted, like it will draw attention to the holes and unperfect surface from where they were ground. Have any of you painted your calipers, and if so, how did they turn out, any pics? Thanks, Shawn

I think they would look better painted then not, mine look raw unpainted.

here's a pic of my front one. it didn't need much grinding, but it'll show you what i did with the reares..the rears i had to totally reshape before i could polish them because they were so destroyed from all the grinding needed for a 15X10 rim

What color to paint them? Black would make them too "disappearing" and red would make the "roughness and imperfections" stand out too much, don't you all think? Hhhhmmmmm......

alminum paint looks ok if it isnt too shiny, flat black is probably best, I just left mine raw. It looks OK with the draglites but looks terrible with the stock wheels. I fixed that by selling the stock wheels
