Caliper Color for Silver Body? 2 choices!


Yellow or Silver?

My buddy thinks yellow will look absolutely SICK with the silver metallic paint that come on the 08's.

I still cannot really picture it very much but I have a feeling it would too!

I know silver will do the trick though (nicer silver than what comes stock)

Also, I was thinking of getting the word "Mustang" decaled on the calipers or using a "Mustang" stencil if anyone knows where to get one for it. If so, what color would look best on yellow caliper or a silver caliper?

RED FTW... If your into a more evil look then go with that... Yellow wouldn't fit and silver your really wouldn't tell... If your planning on blacking the car out, like I said, red FTW.

hmmm.. Lots of ppl are saying red lol..... for some reason I think you guys are right lol.. haha... but im trying to resist since EVERYONE has red!

Yellow i cannot really picture yellow too much, I think it is a hit or miss. It may look good, or it may not and am having a performance shop do it so if it is gonna be done right hopefully.

What color do you think the following car's calipers are?

Those are either black or a dark gray. I think red would be your best bet. Yellow might be alright, but I only ever see yellow calipers on high end sports cars.

Black. Esp. if you writing on it. That way you do the "Mustang" in silver, red, yellow, or whatever over the black. Just like the "Viper" above, silver on black.

hmm, Well I am def liking the BLACK with the silver lettering. Red will look good now that I can see it a bit better. No more yellow and silver is kinda falling behind... i really gotta find some pictures of STANGS with what I am indecisive about.

Thank you all for the suggestions

I think I can figure out why you are saying that =P

Honestly, I am changing my mind left and right haha... HOWEVER, I did buy a caliper decal in metallic silver so I know Silver is out of the question. Truthfully that would also mean so is Yellow since I think silver wouldnt look the best on Yellow calipers (as in it may be hard to see), but if i really do decide on yellow, i can always not put those decals on.

idk what your talking about



maybe you should post a thread in the photochop section and have someone photoshop your calipers yellow so you could actually see what it looks like.

Any basic color is going to look good on it. I'd like ford blue on it though with that silver. Then you can make a theme out of it with stripes and everything.
