I'm leaning towards red at this point, forgot to add that.

RED. Looks like you should have used the POLL option.

I thought about the poll, but figured red would win out, to be honest. I couldn't really think of any other color option than red. Yellow wouldn't match, blue is about the only other...black/silver are worthless.

Alrighty, red it is. Not sure when I'll get around to it, but I definitely want to add a little splash of color to the car. Hmm, red calipers, and I'll add the red/black interior. Haha.

Question for ya,,, do you have a lil extra cash to spend??? If you do,, say about $100-120 depending on where you go.. you should get them powder coated instead.. They will last longer and look sooo much better... Im gonna get mine done soon and theres a local shop down here in the springs that will do them for $120 if I bring him the calipers already sanded.. Its well worth the money and you would have a crap load of colors to choose from to... I have had mine painted for almost two years now and I have had to repaint them twice so far from them chipping off..

Red. I really don't like the blue on cars. Something about the Red says performance. Other colors would look odd. I agree on getting them powder coated. No 8 for a day or 2, but it's woth it. Painted mine and they are chipping. I didn't mention on the spotted section but I was driving next to a red 8 and it had the brown interior in it. Didn't look too bad even though I thought they should have Blue as an option and not Brown.
