I've thought about this for a while and can't decide. I don't think I would be satisfied with anything unless it is actually new upgraded calipers that come prepainted and have some logo like Stoptech or Brembo on them.

If I had black or bronze or gunmetal rims I would definitely go with red. But then again I think sometimes blue might look decent on a white car with the right rims. But as it is with my stock rims and calipers for now I don't really feel the need to draw attention to them.

I Went To The Dealership Wanting A Black 8 But Then I Seen The White One And My Jaw Just Dropped, So I Ended Up With A White 8 And Have No Regrets. WHITE IS THE BEST COLOR FOR AN 8!!!

The fellas with the white cars always seem to have the best taste in modding (im not kidding)

we all have very nicely done mods. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part, white 8's look the best to me.

PS: my calipers are done in black, its the best for the white, you can do gold but it looks kinda cheesy if they dont turn out well.

I've always had this on my mind, but wasn't sure how well it would actually look, but... white painted calipers? It'd almost be mandatory to get ceramic brake pads to minimize dust, but still... opinions? Has anyone actually done it? (pics? :D )

xacidx, your car looks great! More pics! I like the titanium lip on the wheels but you should go for the knightsports bumper without the small holes imo.

^Looks very nice. I like the eyelids. It makes it look more agressive and mean.
