What Color Calipers?
Ok. So i will be getting my calipers powdercoated and am having a difficult time deciding on what color to get.
INFO: I am getting a set of 20" gloss black wheels with a pearl white pinstripe. As well as new rotors with a black anodized hat. Currently the car looks like: more photos also incase you care enough to check! Project Panda, By Daisuke Decisions... I wanted white calipers personally.. but of course they will get dirty fast even with ceramic pads. Other suggestions have been: a light blue to try and match the burnt TI look of the exhaust tips. Deep crimson red to match the deep red of the tinted tail lights. Regular bright red.. Turqoise/teal (spelling errors may abound!) More than just simply an opinion, wondering if anyone has seen any car or has images with a setup you would recommend (overall car must be similar to really get a good idea) So any input thoughts = appreciated!

Orange with white decals for sure. You should also do a orange pin stripe around the lip, not white, and get orange anodized lug nuts. Small orange accents under the hood. Black out the headlights with orange projectors maybe? Or do the amber reflector in matching orange color. You can also take the rear emblem, have it painted black, and make the "NISSAN" in matching orange as well.
Or... all that, using another color. lol

I voted for the deep red. I think a bright red will stand out too much and detract from your panda theme while white might be taking it too far. A deep red could look really nice if its done right. Good luck and keep us posted.
