Not to get sidetracked but with his picture above it got me thinking about caliper color.

Here is my current setup...

White car, black wheels, black calipers...You can't really see the calipers. Now, I am having these put on right now...

But Im thinking this look would better show up against the black wheels...

Do you guys think brake dust would be too much of an issue on something like that.

I mean it would look good clean, but if it constantly got dusty and I had to clean it after driving it every time, it might become more of an eye sore. OR do you think the wilwoods in black will still look OK?

Thoughts?

For such a big/expensive brake kit I wouldnt go with black against a black wheel. Id personally want to make it pop with a red caliper but I dont think thats your thing. Maybe something neutral like silver? It wont pop but itll be noticed against the black wheel. My .02

I wanted to do white calipers but I'd imagine that they would be an absolute bitch to keep clean. Maybe I'll do them when my car is retired from DD duty
