brake caliper color... What color do you guys think look best on a red car for my calipers? I'm thinking about painting the calipers on my GTP, and not sure what would look the best on it. I'm thinking red, and i like the yellow/red color combination of my firehawk, and was thinking about doing my hawk calipers yellow, not sure if i want both cars like that. Any ideas guys? Pics of different combinations would be great too!
Just my $.02

Firehawk #608...i like the idea, especially since you're a fellow hawk owner 
but i've never really polished anything, and not sure how it would turn out or go about doing it in the first place. Are yours polished? if so, please post up some pics. If i dont go with polished, I may just go with the red, since I'm not too worried about it standing out too much

Polishing them looks good and there is not too much to it. Just sand till all the imperfections are out of the casting flash and then shine them up. It only took me around 2 hours to polish mine that is taking my time. You can then clear coat them to keep that shine. Just my opinion though. I think red would also look good.

If you want to be different you could always try silver. Maybe a black/silver, red/silver, flat black/silver caliper/bracket combo or vice versa would be neat.
