Default SOM WS6 VERT - What color should I do my calipers?
Almost time to get her out of storage. I have a few little projects before putting it back on the road - like painting the calipers.

What color should I do them?

Black. You don't want the calipers to draw your attention first.

I would go with black, I have a SOM with black "camaro" lettering (in rear) and it looks badass. Click in my sig for pic.

When I get mine done I am having them powdercoated black...

Definitely black. It's very subtle, but looks really good.

black would be best, then you can put SOM decals on it if you want

I think you should go with an orange color that is bit brighter than SOM.

Think of LS1_SS's bright blue calipers except a bright orange instead.

Man those SOM calipers look great. I'm torn now.

I'm thinking of going with gloss black w/white T/A decals.
