  • Caliper Colors?

    Hey-

    I'm just wondering, what's a good color scheme for a black Firebird? Like, the painted calipers, the words "Firebird" on the door side, and the Bird on the front license plate cover, and the inserts that say PONTIAC on the back?

    Right now, I have my Firebird on the door done in silver, but I want my calipers painted, and I dunno waht color to fashionably do everything in...

    red, hands down, for calipers at least.

    i don't really like red for the front bird, but I have my vents done red.



    but the rims are chrome ones now and it REALLY brought out the color.

            Is the picture bad or are your rotors rusted?

                  I'd say the same colour as your car. I'd look pretty sharp.
