Default black trans am pics? what color to paint brakes?

Leaning towards green calipers with black hats.. but i'm not sure yet. I definitely don't want red. Let me know what you guys think. This will be the weekend project

Hmm, since your car is all black with nothing that stands out that says, "HEY LOOK AT ME!", like a pair of green calipers, I would probably go with a dark silver, gunmetal or charcoal color.

^^chrome looks awesome but It would be impossible to keep that clean on a regular basis in North Dakota with these crappy roads. I'm really digging those yellow calipers might give that a try. Also.. do you think I should keep the "ram air" decal on my hood? Or should I remove it? here is a closer look

I'm digging the anodized "gold" look or a really dark yellow, not too flashy but makes it stand out a bit...

Blue is very subtle unlike red but looks so good on a completely black car.

Personally I would go red. But if you don't want that, I would say black or polished.
