Brake Caliper decal color opinions please?
Ok, I have a black WS6. I will have charcoal metallic "Trans Am" side accents, and "Ram Air" accents. I also have smoked/tinted foglight and turn signal lenses in front and the plain black center piece between the taillights. I am going for the subtle approach as far as accents. Well I am going to paint my calipers a GM charcoal (Dupli color). I want to add the caliper decals on the calipers also. I've only seen them offered in "brushed chrome" color. Now although I think the brushed chrome looks good, would that go well with my accents I have? All black car and charcoal accents and calipers and then have brushed chrome "Trans Am" on the caliper? Would this stick out too much, or do you think it would go well with the theme? If so, what other color would you suggest, and where could I find it? Thanks a lot, I appreciate your time and opinions! I'm sorry this is so long! Thanks again!

I just bought a set of caliper decals on Ebay and they are the nicest looking I've seen. They're like the other guy's said, "brushed" aluminum look, not chrome. I don't have them on yet, but I'm going with silver brackets with black calipers. My car is all black with a small silver "theme". I'm going to grind the casting lines off for a smoother look. With those decals, it's going to be hard to tell whether it came that way. Go for what you're planning, it's sounds good.

Thanks for the help guys! Where did you get the brushed aluminum decals from? Are they the same as brushed chrome? I know afterthoughts auto has them, but is the brushed chrome, and brushed aluminum the same? Thanks a lot!
