Didn't know what color to go with. I think this looks best. Was very easy to do. Painted all the brake parts black and went with high heat green calipers.

Not really my taste but to each his own. If you painted those red it make the car look real good

I kinda like it.

Everyone has red calipers...hell I just painted mine red. The all black with the bright green kinda works.

I give it thumbs up.

Reminds me of the one who had the green Trans Am door emblems and did a green bird on the license plate cover.

Stuff like that can look good in small doses.

**** like green wheels on the other hand is just too much and looks awful.

if anything else on the car was green that might look good.

You should get a P-O-N-T-I-A-C rear overlay.

I like it looks like it was done by someone that has good taste. As suggested above leave it like that don't pain anything else.

I agree although I think grey or silver calipers and PONTIAC letters would look even better with your all black theme. I'd also consider yellow calipers like the black diamond edition cts-v. Sorry I know you didn't ask for our own opinions though...

I know that green well. My elcamino shocks, engine, and springs are all that color.

I like it a lot.
