Black for a stealth look. Red would stand-out nicely... blue...ughhh... white... your calipers will look dirty after a few runs.

Black is good if you want to keep the brakes looking like the factory setup. What color rim's do you have? Plan on changing them anytime soon?

Yellow

I have an '08 CBP TL-S. I think yellow would look sick with the gun metal stockies.

I'm not talking the D.I.Y. Caliper Painting either.

Gold and silver are not on the pole because I am not considering those colors.

My wheels are Hyper Silver Axis Hiro's 19"

Many of my friends say blue.

What is the best paint? What is G2 paint kit? I went to several Auto stores and only find Duplicolor spray paint.

Thanks for your input!

I voted red, but you can choose any color you want as long as you have a theme to it. Blue isn't bad if you got it going correctly.

I would do Red or Gold though.

Since the front R black already I will probably just paint the rear black for now.

I was considering blue with Rays blue lug nuts on my Hyper Silver 19" Axis Hiro's.

My car is WDP with cleared blacked out headlights, TL-S side markers and tails lights. I thought the blue would go good with the WDP and grey/black theme.

Black and Red are nice and with the rims would look good. But if you want to be differnt i say Blue with the Blue lug nuts you said something about.
