Great car with a great color.
Good calipers with a good color.
Great wheels with a great color.
Terrible combination of the 3.
I hate to say it, but I am with Mr. Marco.

If you painted the calipers LSM and could get the corners to be the same bronze as the wheels, I think you would have a winning combo.

I like the wheels against the car and I like the non matching look it gets boring when everything matches and looks bland; diversity amongst men with the same car is sweet vs all looking like we have the same car

I'll agree with that wholeheartedly.
Honestly, I was tempted to do my calipers in that color. I love contrast.
An easy "fix" would be just plastidip the wheels black or a more muted color. But like you said, we can't all have the same car!

I agree on the idea to be different. but the color choice on the wheels is what i am saying. in the end its your car and your money. as long as you like it then its all good...

We all could have the same car but there's no fun. And I chose this color I love this color so I won't be painting or dipping or what not; only thing I've considered is changing caliper color to black or bronze. By the way that is on f ing sick tl I'm a fan of contrast but Dam black on black on black killed it son good job

Thanks, man.
Very much.
Honestly, In seeing the earlier picture of your color wheels...I'm in love with the finish too. I think if you mute the calipers, you'll be in business. How about a copper colored Brembo/Acura sticker to match the wheels and paint the caliper black or silver or gunmetal?

No stickers.
The RL doesn't need the extra 25 HP.

No one should put any stickers on any car.
Why would we put a sticker over our machined logos?![Scratch](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/scratch.gif)
