Pretty sure I know who you're talking about, I'd put my work against his any day, and in fact I often do on the TBSS forum.

Be cool if you'd not offer to undermine paying sponsors that support this forum that you like to hang out on. Everyone here has been perfectly happy with my work, if your guy wants business from here, he can pay to advertise like I do IMO.

You got your feathers ruffled pretty quickly there don't you think? I brought his name up, he probably has no idea I even mentioned it, so don't attack him--especially considering you're not even sure who I'm talking about, so I don't know how you can undermine his work or attack his motives, IMO.

But you're right, it's a pay to play field & I won't bring it up now that I know you're on here.

Let's end the discussion here so as not to take away from the thread.

I think silver calipers with navy blue lettering would look good.

The light blue would not look good on a dark blue car in my opinion. Why not poweredcoat them a dark blue that's close to NBM? Or, go buy some duplicolor caliper paint (close to the ZR1 shade) and see if it looks good, if not then you had just saved yourself a **** ton by not getting them powdercoated.

Agreed...and just FYI, we also don't take kindly to backdoor pimping/selling around here. Not saying you are, but it isn't hard for us to figure out.

I have a dead nuts match for NBM in powder, a number of members on here have parts on their cars I did in that color.

Here's a few pics, hope it helps..

I was thinking of having my calipers on my black G8 done in the ZR1 blue. How do you think it'd look on a black car?

^I think it'd look sick! I remember telling myself if I buy a blue fbody I MUST do the light blue calipers, I think it's a great combo! I have red now so red calipers is like my only option now

Honestly, I agree with most everybody in that it won't look very good. I have a NBM SS and wanted the same color calipers as well, but I was gonna have my car repainted CGM and go with the ZR1 rims to complement it. Anyway, if you want a color that'll stand out, yet still look good, your options are limited with NBM. Hugger orange looks KILLER, and if done right, a nice yellow does as well believe it or not. I've been thinking of going with yellow GS stripes and calipers for a while now, as I haven't seen it, and I think on a nice NBM car, it should look pretty good without looking too bright or anything. Kinda Sunocoish or maybe WRXish, if you know what I mean...
