Default caliper decal opinions
My T/A is pewter with chrome wheels and i'm going to be painting the calipers black. Just want some input from you guys. Should i put chrome decals on them to match the wheels or pewter to match the car?

You just go to a parts store like advanced auto or something and they sell caliper painting kits for like $15.
