I like red on Pewter. A lot of people go with red though.

I did red with gloss black brackets and glossed the rotors as well (not the part the brake pad touchs.

Repainted mine with black brackets and aluminum colored calipers. Trying to keep the new stock look.

I went with black on my pewter trans am. I was considering red, I still think red looks good on pewter, but you can't beat pewter and black. Besides they went with my black bird stripes.

Actually the LT1 redlighted while the tree was on the second yellow. I still pulled him by four cars in the 1/8th!

Poor little LT1!!

I voted black. It's much more subtle, doesn't draw your attention first, and is a nice mod.

I've got the stuff to do mine black as well on my Pewter 'bird.
