Default Caliper Color

well i am to this point of complete confusion as to what way to go

hears my car
i just added drilled and slotted rotors which arnt in the pic but here it is




black sould compement the rotors but wont stand out at all
Polised will compelemt my badges and inlays but get lost with the rotors
red looks good on almost all car, but im not crazy bout acting like everone else

so what do yall think

You guys probably expected me to say polished right?

Polished rotors would look very classy on that car. I think the red would look wrong. it doesn't match anything else.

Red on that car... NO!!!

Polished > black

Here's a pic of someone else's car. I would have the calipers much brighter than what's shown, but anyways it gives you an idea.

You could use them on the rear but there really isn't a place to put them (on a 2000 SS anyway)

I like red, gives it a sporty look. However you can't loose no matter what you choose. Black would look better than polished.

Mine are polished cause I want to draw attention away from my crappy rotors. In your case, I would go with black. Would compliment your rotors better.
But whatever you do, Please please sand them down real good before you paint.
