What colour do you have on order?

yeah black nd orange go well.
i already have mine for a month now :) its the thunder silver (my display pic) which makes it hard to pick colours to suit... sort of.

My Blue 86 now has Blue wheels so maybe I could get crazi8er by also doing blue powdercoating.

TRD's colour is red so I'd go red myself.

Actually... considering that I will be getting black wheels. I wouldn't want black brake calipers as well. so im thinking red now.

I saw a photo with a orange elise with black rims and red calipers which is exactly what i will end up getting probably.

Everyone goes red. Wannabe Brembos look gay as aids lol!

Blue goes nice with silver!

Depends on the color of the car. I have the asphalt and I think yellow would go nicely or red.

RED! Makes it go faster!!!

Although that might not be what you want out of brakes...

Leave as is.. Doesn't make it go or stop better.

tibsy92 07-21-2012 08:23 PM

Red is too common i think so i want to steer away from it..
Its light silver so either black or a subtle gold..
its not about the go faster or "performance" because there is no benefits to it.. more the cosmetic appearance of it really..

I like black, other colors get so dirty and look bad if you own your car a while.
