Default Blue or Black Calipers? MBM Car.

Hello, well I will be upgrading my brakes to these relatively soon:

http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=2028

And my question is, should I stick with the black painted caliper that the kit comes with to support the black chrome wheels, tint, black sail panel, smoked headlights CF grille, etc. Or should I powder coat the calipers to match the exact paint of my MBM car?

I'm having a rough time deciding...

Here is a pic of my car! Please vote on the poll!

I would have it painted to match your car.looks good with those vette rims and it would stand out even more.

For the record, I voted "blue" because that is what I originally wanted to do. I do like the "clean" look of black calipers, so that is why I have it mentioned. Just wondering if people had reasons why they choose what they vote for.

Yeah, it seems like a pretty uninteresting poll to vote for, hence the lack of votes and responses! Haha..

I'm pretty sure I was going to go the blue route as well, but I like to see others input just incase there is something I may never had "thought" about.

I think the clean black look will be nicer. My vote. I think that blue is too light and will not look good even if a little dust gets on them.

Yeah I was wondering if anyone had any photoshop skills that could use that pic to make the caliper color the color of the car to see what it may look like. I'm having difficulty picturing what it would look like.

Yea same here. I would say get them powdercoated blue, but mine are silver. I can post pics if you want. They blend in nicely.

I voted black, the blue may be a little much. Although I think they'd look good either way.

Yeah I'm really torn. But it's not the biggest of my worries, really.

I can't vote though I think black would look fine, though blue would definitely make your car stand out a bit.

Yeah, I just saw a picture of a SOM Camaro with the calipers painted SOM as well. It looks way cool. Better than I thought, and it wasn't too flashy or anything.
