Depends...do you want them to stand out or not. Red always looks good, no matter what the color. I think blue would look pretty cool too. If you don't want them to stand out, go for silver or black

Another Pic, Yes the back bumper is a different color, when I had the car for 4 days a woman in a minivan backed into me in a WalMart parking lot. The body shop replaced the bumper and painted it wrong. They will fix it when the weather gets warmer.

Come spring and the weather gets better I'm painting my calipers yellow with a black rx8 on them on my Brilliant Black baby. I have not seen a black with yellow calipers yet.

Hey rodrigo
I think the yellow would look nice on the black 8. There's a Nordic green guy that did his yellow. It looks close enough to black in some pics (just turn down the contrast on your monitor .. ha ha)

i've seen a black one with yellow but they did the vents behind the wheel yellow too. i think that was a little excessive which is why they said it looked like a bumble bee

Anyone done purple? If and when I paint mine I think it would offset the grey very well.

Ill be the firstone on thisthread to say I dont like red calipers on the Titanium. Looks too dull w/the gray. Black youwouldnt really notice. Maybe a dark blue would be nice
