Black.

i agree... black w/ silver decals would look awsome

I did the calipers in black and the caliper bracket in silver. Looks real good. I also painted the center of my rotors silver. I used 1400 degree paint from autozone, took 2 days to do, most time spent cleaning existing eqpt.

Black. Red just wouldn't look right on pewter. IMO.

What color would you all use for a NBM car?

Thats a hard color to choose for! Id have to go with navy blue or get them polished.

yeah i say black for the pewter, and i am going with NBM caliper, and polished bracket w/ brushed aluminum caliper decals on my NBM SS

Pretty much any color will look good with pewter. Black or Red seem to work best.

My friends 01 Pewter SS did his red behind OEM z06 wheels, and they look way better than I would have thought

So you wouldn't do red on a NBM car

IMHO i wouldn't do red... i would do the polished calipers or NBM on a NBM car like Stangkilr said above

Thanks for the ideas guys!

for NBM red brings out the purple in the colorshift...looks kinda off....

Black w/ white/silver letters, Polished/chromed with black, or NBM with silver/white letters (silver accents silver letters whte accents white letters)

What's funny is...I said earlier today that I don't like pewter much at all. I can honestly admit that his car looks great to me! Here's another pic of his car. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...597_4_full.jpg
