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.

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.

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 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

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.
