Question accent colors on RBP...opinions....

I have an '04 RBP. Grill is already black, lower hood trim is black and I'll have the rest of the chrome blacked out this weekend.

I'm about to paint my calipers but i'm stuck between painting them red or black. I know red will stand out more then the black but I think it would set off the blue a little bit with out being in your face. But then again, black is clean, simple and looks good. Def. Not blue either, I can't stand a lot of blue on blue accents. Looks tacky to me.

The other thing is that I'm trying to match the calipers to my next mod, which is wheels.
That brings us to my next dilemma. What color wheels? I've always been partial to gold/bronze wheels on most cars but on the RBP even, silver, or satin silver would look good as well. No all chrome wheels though. I can deal with a chrome lip but thats about the only chrome I like.

My vision for the car is probably the same as most of you. Clean, simple but somewhat aggressive looking with out being ricey/ race car like. A nice luxo sport car.

THANX GUYS for your opinions!!

Voting black calipers. I have mine done in black and love it. Red only belongs on a big brake kit, in my opinion. Why draw attention to our car's pathetic little calipers (especially the rear ones).

As for wheels, I'll forever be a fan of multi-spoke or mesh silver wheels on our car. Look into perhaps the Ron Jon legend in liquid silver, or perhaps some BBS wheels.

Alternately, black wheels with chrome lip could look pretty hot on your car too.

ha, so apparently my car is ABP not RBP

For some reason i kept thinking mine was RBP until I actually saw a RBP. Still a nice color but mines def the brighter blue. I feel you guys on the votes. I think they apply well to the actual color of my car. ha,

Actually, as far as the wrx goes, i love the contrast of the gold and blue so i wouldn't mind. To each thier own. I've narrowed it down to bronze or silver.

Yeah, i know i'm a dumb*ss for thinking it was rbp but atleast i caught it.

nice picts by the way

I can understand the mistake. There are a lot of RBP wannabes!

I like this colour:
