I've kinda been thinking on this a while, since I won't be forking over the cash for big brakes anytime soon I want to clean up the look of my brakes a bit more since they are easily visible due to my very open wheels.

I kinda want to get the idea of what they will look like in a glossy Red and Black. . Can someone photoshop that in? I image this would be pretty easy.

This first pic the calipers are pretty exposed. You can notice they are both visible fronts and rears:

If you feel like embarking on this you by all means you don't have to do all 3, this is just the best examples I could find. This is just if you are bored and would like to help me get an idea of what it will look like.

Thanks ahead of time!

I did old school technique, printed them out and tried color combinations with sharpiers and pencils

I wouldn't mess with them till you get brembos. If it's not in the budget to get Brembos then put the 100 or so bucks it's going to take to make them black into the Brembo budget.

Thanks! Much Appreciated! Actually its not a Saleen Grille its the Black Retro grille from American Muscle. I am seriously thinking about replacing it with the Saleen Grille though. Just don't know yet.

I am in no way a photoshop expert ..... buuutttt, I think I did ok enough to get you an idea of what they would look like. I also had a question for you. I just got a set of AG wheels. What did you do for lug nuts? or lug nut wrench? I went to test fit and mine seem to barely fit when the wheel is on and I definitely can't use the Ford lug nut wrench.

anyway, here ya go! =D

and Black: (I had a hard time making it so the black calipers didn't go completely void of detail and tried to keep the gloss shine but not end up grey, either. Eh, I tried. haha

My vote is for red. Having a small contrast color to break things up keeps the car from looking "blah" because everything is the same exact color. It also helps the black paint and black wheels stand out more, but compliments them.

Wow nice I like both! Thanks for doing that man! I'm looking at them on a phone so I'll have to take a look later when I have a chance to look at them on a bigger screen.

I think I'm leaning towards red as well though as it's always kind have been my offset color.

As for the lugs I am using a generic locking lug from Discount Tire. I really don't know the specs but I'm sure Jon Miller (Jucostud) can tell ya. I haven't had a single issue with them though and the car has been through some hard cornering / high speeds at times.
