    I like them better silver, personally. I would save the effort for the lower sections of the bumpers and skirts.

    Cool, just needed to get a second opinion. After looking for them so long, I think it becomes hard to distinguish things.

    What color should I paint my calipers? Red/yellow/blue or what?

    And by the way, who is Winfred and where is Jeff?!

    Silver. If you want to be classy, go silver calipers.

    Believe me, I've tried red, blue and now on yellow. I'll go silver after the winter.

    Gunmetal would be the best colour for the wheels... I also agree to paint the bottom trims white.
    Painted calipers starts getting ricey if you use the wrong colour - so silver is probably best!
