Question Painted Calipers on Sunlight Silver

I've searched and searched, but only been able to come up with one Sunlight Silver with Red Calipers. Found a few more with different color cars.

Can all members that have the Sunlight Silver RX8 w/Painted Calipers please post pics.

I'm trying to decide on Red, Silver or Black to go on my 8...............Thanks!

What Color do you all think looks the best?

Red probably looks best on a silver. The other two are just to non-descript and won't be noticed. I think that the silver calipers look just like stock (pointless!).

Try seaching under caliper decals ... cuz people who do the decals likely painted their calipers too!

I have Sunlight Silver and I painted my calipers silver when I first got them. I don't have any real good pics to post now. My wife has the car in Nashville and won't be back until tuesday(29 March) so I can't take any right now. But, if you do want to see what they look like, let me know and I'll take a few pics and post 'em up.
