Nice ride up there.

I think on the darker FD colors, BB and MBM, sideskirs look about 100x better. It doesnt look so tacked on.

I had red calipers on my MBM FD for a few years, and then bead blasted it off and went with yellow. Both look really good, but to me yellow stands out a BIT better....

Not sure if you had what you needed so here is a pic of my car not long after I got it (I'd just built the garage so it is REALLY bare...don't laugh!) with red calipers and then another pic a few years later with yellow calipers. This at least gives you an idea of what the two look like on a car with stock wheels (not sure what you have).

Red face

Sorry to hijack, but i got a red FD and not sure whether to use red caliper paint or the gold, like the Brembos on 350z/G35, they look clean and not too flashy...anyone got a pic of a red fd with different variations...

thanks for the link, but there are very few pics to base a decision on, i mean the polished one's look awesome, but the gold one, you cant really see, would love to see more...if you know what i mean...

Red should go with Gold. Red with red will make it look a bit cheap. it needs some contrast
