Help on Caliper Color Change

Whats up myG37 community,

I am having the itch of wanting to make a color change on my G37S stock BBK calipers... but want to get the opinion of others on what color flows best with my current color scheme...

as of right now, i am leaning more towards yellow... the only colors i would consider are

1. YELLOW
2. RED
3. LIME GREEN
4. BLACK (not quite)
5. ORANGE


here are a few pics of my IP so it helps with choosing a caliper color that would flow best...

Out of the colors listed, I'd definitely go for red. Though the other colors sound like fun too

Red if you want them to stand out.

Orange if you want them to be unique.

I voted for red though.

don't do orange, mine are orange. lol. I think yellow would contrast pretty well with the black rims, IMO.

I voted for the RED. I guess we have good taste here LOL~
The other colors IMO won't flow as nice as RED.
Or go with IP OEM factory match like Raul metioned.... with decal color of your choice~

And I have seen Orange calipers on G37. It has been done. But it was on a OB.
And I am getting my calipers powder coated in red pretty soon.

kinda hard to see the white calipers on the video... it felt like a teaser of the white calipers... haha... seems like the white would color match nicely... so from the list... ive narrowed it down to RED, YELLOW, and WHITE....
