Some how the preivous owner "melted" something on my calipers. They look terriable. So need to have them refinished. Sould I go with red with black letters or black with red letters. I plan to either chrome the wheels I have or go with black chrome because the stock haze is starting to get to me.

If it is a 03 - calipers where black, I like the red on your car just my opinion. I had a 03 and I painted them red they looked great.

Yea it's a 03. Just haven't had a chance to find any good red with caliper pics. Just didn't know if it was going to be too much red.

I know motorcycle calipers get chromed but not sure if chrome is what I want. Not much of a chrome guy anymore as you can see what I did to my bike.

Do a caliper search or just look at any 04 to 09 red cars like yours. I like red better because it goes with your body and engine color.

Red with black letters, matches the theme of your car better than black with red letters. Look at the members gallery you will see tons of Vipers with red calipers. Oh also look in the Wheel thread, has lots of good ones there also. I may be partial to red but you will see that others wish they had red instead of black.

Here is a distance shot of my red calipers. You for sure wont be able to notice them as much if you go black.

I vote red...just changed mine from black to red a few weekends ago. JonB also hooked me up with some two piece rotors and it really made a big difference even with stock wheels.

Pics are just as I was completing the project in the driveway so car/wheels are a bit dirty, but you get the idea.
