Blue car with red calipers? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

chenshuo · 01-24-2013, 03:35 PM

My BRZ is blue, and i have a box of C2 caliper paint in red. I'm wondering if a blue car will look good with red calipers. What do you guys think? or any photoshop pros can sketch something up?

Not a BRZ, but gives you an idea

I think it looks pretty decent...I'm not sure if the BRZ has the same red accents inside as the FR-S, but it might be a nice tie-in if it does.

Oh hey, I was about to start a thread like this as well. I'm trying to decide whether to order red, gold, or orange for the calipers on my Hot Lava FRS. Unfortunately, searches havent turned up any images, plannin on going home and shopping them. Any suggestions / pictures of any of these?

As a side note chenshuo, from other threads people have been saying the calipers tend to look smaller when painted. just food for thought

Yeah, I think the front calipers are about the same size as the rear calipers on the Evo X I posted

hmm... my choice is actually gold but i bought this red C2 before i bought my blue BRZ. I was gonna do it on my white altima coupe but now i only want to paint my BRZ. If you want to buy my red C2 i can give it to you cheaper than what you can buy from the manufacture. PM me if you're interested.

Yea man, if i decide to go with the red I'll definitely hit you up.

Search eBay brake caliper decals. I never purchased mine, I paid someone else to do it including the decals.
