Persimmon Seats & Persimmon Calipers?

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of doing persimmon calipers to match the seats. Does anyone have a picture of this. If not, can someone please photoshop this? Thanks in advance.

Your going to want to do an autumn orange color. It will look good as long as it is not too orange then it would look like a pumpkin color. I say go for it :tup:

I think almost any color of orange calipers will look decent.

I was kind of thinking bright orange so that they really stand out. I also want them to match the leather as much as possible. any opinions on this?

I would try and match the factory orange metallic color that comes on the Brembo calipers from the STI and 350z/G35. It would definitely match the Persimmon interior very nicely.

ya that's a nice colour. had the brembo package on my old 350z. I kind of want to go a bit brighter though. would you guys prefer bright red or bright orange on my black/persimmon settup?

sweet thanks Jeff. I will send reps his way. Certainly gives me a better idea.

Does anyone have a picture that shows orange brakes with the persimmon interior showing as well? Or can anyone photoshop this? Thanks!

Thanks. hah i actually went with 'Grey' (ie stock). I never ended up getting my calipers PC'd since i ended up buying a '94 300zx TT so i haven't really modded the 370z since then (except for the nismo exhaust and x pipe) But yea... i still look at the persimmon and i love it :tup:

I forgot that the old brembo's were orange. In that case, I'd try to get a different shade of orange. Wouldn't want that comparison personally.

True! ya its a sweet interior. I could have got the car with the exact specs I wanted back in March (except with black interior instead), and I said screw it....worth the wait for the persimmon. So i had to factory order it. Been waiting 5 months now!

Here is a set I did in Persimmon with a metallic clearcoat, member TipsZ

and here are pictures of eihtball99s which are the same orange but no metallic clearcoat:

My color matches the persimmon really well.

also, on that page are mightybobos satin finished lambo orange ones.

Thanks mike. Looks awesome. I like the one in the second link the best. What's the colour code for that?

Repped you for your help.

Just got mine

Just lost my Ultra Yellow '05 in a wreck, they totalled her. Was out looking, and found a new 2011 Black with Persimmon, 6sp, Touring, Nav package, loving everything about her. Also thinking about orange calipers. I'm going to get it done, after orange vinyl on skirt and nose. Let the mods begin.
