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!

Re~Mix · 07-21-2012, 01:49 PM

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

mushilea · 07-21-2012, 08:08 PM

RED! Makes it go faster!!!

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

Nafe · 07-21-2012, 08:19 PM

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.
