    Will Red calipers look alright on a black firbird with.....

    Hey...
    I am going paint my calipers tomorrow morning.
    Will RED calipers look alright on a black firebird that has SILVER accents? like those grills are painted silver, and i am going to put silver decals over the front bird, and over the side "firebird" and over the rear "firebird" and "pontiac"....

    will it look ok...
    anyone have this done... (just curious)

      I've seen something similar on a firebird with really nice five-spoke rims. Honestly, now that I think about it, I really think it depends on what rims you have.

        why not just do silver calipers with black accents?

          Personally, I think red calipers look good on any car...

          I have a white car with black trim accents, and my calipers are painted red...see sig.

                  You cant really tell in that pic but look at the front caliper. I personally like mine now that they are polished though.
