MamaStang · September 15th, 2008, 11:01 PM

Funny - I just told hubby if I'm gonna get these wheels and tires, I might as well get the caliper paint and do that while we're in the midst of swappin wheels

lol Lookin forward to your experiences!

armymike63b · September 15th, 2008, 11:47 PM

what color would look good on for the calipers on my yellow mach

06RedfireGT · September 15th, 2008, 11:49 PM

Black^^

DiZzyBonne · September 15th, 2008, 11:50 PM

How about Yellow calipers? Also, lucky me, I didn't have to paint my callipers

.

armymike63b · September 15th, 2008, 11:52 PM

i thought about yellow but wasnt sure how that would look u know

Arsenal · September 15th, 2008, 11:53 PM

either black or yellow, I don't think black would be worth it though it wouldn't really be noticeable. get black wheels, then paint the calipers yellow

foursixblurrrr03 · September 16th, 2008, 12:21 AM

mine are black and it's definitely noticeable. they look a million times better than the unpainted ones.

theslo1 · September 16th, 2008, 12:22 AM

it makes the car look nicer lol I have it done to mine

1FUN4RD · September 16th, 2008, 12:26 AM

Go Black & use yellow decals on them

Whitehorse · September 16th, 2008, 12:55 AM

I was talking about it the other day, painting my calipers orange after I get the stripes, but I think I'm gonna get a Baer brake kit all the way around. It would be a little silly to paint those I would think. But maybe I could mask off the Baer emblem and still paint the rest of the caliper. I'm not gonna get the precolored ones so might work out pretty good.

foursixblurrrr03 · September 16th, 2008, 01:21 AM

that could look pretty sweet. post some pics if you do it!

97mustanggt · September 16th, 2008, 02:08 AM

i am about to do mines also...my cobra is black and i am going to paint the calipers black and the cobra white...i hope it looks good when done.....

Whitehorse · September 16th, 2008, 03:54 AM

Yeah that should be pretty sweet, post some pics when it gets done. I was looking at getting those cobra brakes cause the price was good but I don't want anything Cobra on my GT. The Baer brakes are pretty sweet though and they have some pretty price efficient kits. It's not like I'm gonna be road racing so I'm thinking I don't need a set of 6 piston Wilwoods....

thorpedo26 · September 17th, 2008, 01:51 AM

where do i get stickers for my calibers to say mustang on them?

what color are your wheels? with black wheels i dont think black paint would be so noticable.

thorpedo26 · September 17th, 2008, 10:56 PM

my god it looks so sick "got the front done today". everyone that walked by gave me compliments. its freakin hard to raise up the car onto the jack stand and take off the wheel with the emergency jack in my trunk though but it was well worth it

"pics tomorow".. i know
