thanks to all for the posts...i really appricate it

i will post pictures when i do mine...i should just get the brembos and install them hehe I WISH!!! anyways...if others have pics please post i would love to see different tasts

 

I think they only have front brembos so you would still have to paint the rear.

 

aww i see...well then they would have to match so red it is hehe. no i bought some rx-8 decals to put on my calipers like in that picture of the blue calipers where it says rx-8 in the same writing as the rx-8 symbol. so that would look sharp.

 

Dude .. you can do black with RX8 in red on it i ahve seen it and man it was nice .... i have T gray and i will do mine black with Gray" RX8 " but it is tooooo cold to do it now..

 

GirlyGirl... ditch the 20's.. get some 18" volks or rays... paint the calipers black. :D

 

Red or Yellow would look cool...silver if you're going for a little more understated

Also make sure you use G2 paint, i just skimmed this and don't know if anyone mentioned it. It's available at rx8garage.net in pretty much any color you'd want.

 

Hey Girliegirl

Like I mentioned earlier, I painted my blue 8's caliper a sapphire blue. Wish I took pics on a sunny day but close enough.

 

I painted mine Black. I would go with black or silver.

 

do the bronze/gold color... thats the color of the brembos... has anyone looked how sweet they look on the blue sti..... or blue Z.... DO THAT JUST DO IT!!!

 

My vote is for blue, I have the G2 kit in blue but it has been too cold to do mine. I plan on getting some new rims within a week or so. Hopefuly it will warm up soon and I'll be able to do it. I got my G@ kit off ebay it was like 35 shiped or close to that. Post Pics when your done show us.

 

i will post pics...you too!!! at least you decided what color....i still havnt made up my mind

but im leaning towards the red....can anyone post a full picture of there winning blue 8 with both red and blue calipers...that would be helpful

 

I found this one...the calipers are painted black on a blue one...doesn't look too good IMO. Blue's a flashier color and if you paint the calipers, they shoudl be bright too

Here's my artist's rendition with red calipers on the same car





Real one:

 

Hm, yeah I've never really understood painting calipers black/silver (silver especially). I just don't think those colors stand out enough to warrant all the extra work of repainting them. Now that bronze/gold...man oh man.

 

"Artist's Rendition" of a blue caliper

 

red with blue is a no no,,,,,,,If your going chrome I say paint it baby blue!!!!

 

the red looks good...but that royal blue looks SWEET!!!! thanks for the pics...that helps out ALOT. thanks again your a sweetheart :D

 

I think gold/brown would look good on blue.

 

I am the MS Paint MASTER

:D

 

Thats my car. I will have rims on her soon. :D

 

probably gold would look the best, or if anything sliver.
