Hey, anything to help out. It ain't Photoshop, but... I tried a bunch of different colors, the dark orange just looks about the best, I was kinda thinking of Fall leaf colors that look good together. haha... If you copy my photo down to your PC, you can just load that into any photo editor and use the "bucket" painting icon to change the color of the calipers yourself with just two clicks, to see what other colors would look like.

Do you mean, more b's to pick from on the used market, so the fewer a's available increase the price?

Hey Narcone, do you work at Peruzzi by chance?

Yup, I tried red and it does look fine, I just thought moving the color toward orange a bit, to a red-orange, toned the contrast down a little, made it less "bright" - Depends how bold you want the contrast to be... Yellow looks good too, but better if it it is more of a goldenrod yellow as opposed to a bright yellow.... and I love yellow, it's my fav color, actually, and I ain't even ___, haha...!

Probably a little over the top, though, haha! would be fun for meet and greets, though!

My new Wheels and tires arrive today Fedex, getting the TPMS swapped over Friday afternoon, so hopefully I'll finally be able to post some all-around photos of the Cylon-mobile by early next week...

it was a 911 turbo convertible. see the big difference between your car in that one is the brake rotors are as big as your wheels so they have a reason to draw attention to them.

not to mention, if you paint the calipers its going to take away some of the "pop" from the wheels.
