Question So which one would you choose?

What color will you paint the caliper of this car? Reason I ask is because i have thought about painting the calipers blue, yellow, red, or silver. Nevertheless, black looks better than any of the color mentioned before. I tried red, but didn't like it too much. Blue doesn't look too bad though... Anyone who has a silver tl with painted calipers, could you please post picture of your car?

I'll say black, but maybe also blue with some blue lug nuts.

The red with the red lugs looks sweet..I personally would go with black..I have the black Acura ones on my car and love the way it looks now I just need to do the rear ones...Why Acura only put the brembo's on the fronts and not the rear is kind of stupid in my opinion on my 04 6 speed ...

I have a SSM TL and painted mine red, but am going to repaint mine black or silver. I would recommend either of those two colors.

Whatever color you decide on, it's important to try and carry that color throughout the car, if possible.

Is that white? or silver calipers?

I have an '08 ASM Type S and was planning on pretty much the same setup. Looks great! But I'm waiting til my stock brake pads wear abit more before I change them out for something with less brake dust. Or else it's all point less

I personally love the combination of aqua blue and silver. I did mine black, but then again, I don't have brembos to show off
