Got a 6/4 piston wilwood BBK, what color should I pc? Im thinking yellow, but i like red too. Thoughts?
I approved this for you, but you forgot to add a poll.
You should be able to add the poll... If not, pick the colors you're thinking about and I'll add them for you.
I'd probably go for red...

+1 I like red caliper on black car.
Red is nice but with a black car and black wheels Id go with Day-glow orange.

The poll looks right. I looked it up in the admin panel which doesn't change who voted even if the number is switched around by a supermod or admin.
Red is the winner with 6, followed by yellow with 5, and then orange & blue tied for third with 2. All the others have 1 vote.
Blackjack--there is a chrome and a silver option. You are the only voter on silver.

why would i be joking i have never seen anything like that and i think that a DG g35 coupe with some nice gunmetal wheels and some pink brembo calipers would be something interesting and unique isnt that what modding is all about trying to be different with the car that one owns
not brembo's but.....OK, you got me there...
I suppose that when it comes to brake caliper colors, you've seen them all...
not brembo's but.....
Supra calipers?
