Default white calibers on this car?

i just got my formula, and while im waiting to get my tags and stuff for it there's some little things i want to do. one of them is have the brake calibers powercoated. i was going to just paint them, but, i figured in the long run powercoating would be better. anyway.... i was going to do them black at first, but i also think white could look pretty good, and be alittle different...

anyway, here's the car, what do you guys think about white calibers on it?



i also want to paint the little grill things(lol, sorry if thats not what they are really called) that sit in the fenders and hood white, and get a white firebird decale for the bird in the front licence plate thing. kinda have alittle theme going. what do you guys think?

I'm getting a headache imagining trying to clean them from brake dust

I dunno..... I'm leaning towards no only because it wouldn't really match anything else on the car thus far. But thats just me

I would say paint them white, I have mine painted white ( white car ) and they look pretty good I think. You could add some white accents/badges, and you already have a white banner and Ram Air decals. So you have the start of a theme going on, you could work it into your engine bay as well..

how bout white rims??? The possbilitys are endless, just have to stick to your guns!

I'd only do white if you will match it with some white accents on your car

I have mine painted white and clear coated. Cleaning them isn't any harder then cleaning any other part of the car.

i would say no white..stay with something that is easy to clean..there is so many different angles that you have to clean..Just think about it..I did red and they are hard to keep clean but not that bad

Yeah, if there are some white accents on your car, then I believe that it would pretty good
