Hey Look!! Another "pick my caliper" poll.
 
I bought my '09 Z with a touring pckg, but no sport pckg. Now that I've gotten some decent wheels, I need to get rid of the lame calipers that come on the base models and upgrade to the sport calipers. I know they're not Brembo's but whatever. I drive a PW w/persimmon interior, piano black Forgestar F-14s. I'm thinking either orange, yellow, blue, or red. Help me out here. Thanks.

Red with the Black/white exterior theme.

I vote Red as well.

I like your choice. Have thought about going with white? Like the yellow, behind the black wheels the color would stand out.

If paint could turn them into Porsche brakes that would be awesome.

Orange, to match your persimmon interior.

There are two reasons why I'm kind of iffy on orange.

1. Won't the orange look like of weird with the red tail lights?

2. Caravanshaka's old Z had orange calipers and I don't want anyone to say I ripped off his style. Although, I loved his calipers and intake.

If I went with orange, I think the Lambo Orange on thepowdercoater.com would be pretty bad a$$.

No, orange calipers won't look weird with red tail lights. They would look good with the orange reflectors at the corner of the headlights. :tup:

Brembo supplies orange brakes to many auto manufacturers, including the 350Z track model...and they look fine as is.

check out TipsZs journal. He has persimmon brakes on his white car that I did.

I like that, but I'd go with something a little darker. And probably metallic. The Lambo orange on your site looks pretty good. How would you say it looks in comparison to the persimmon on TipsZ's car?

Brighter, with a lot of pearl in it.
