This pic makes me glad I went with four fronts. Too much poke, camber and stretch for me.

But hey, some people look at that and think, "Sweet!" Personally, I think it looks ridiculous, and would put me in a state of panic every time I dove the car.

Eek! Is that wood supporting your car in that pic! Scary!! Or maybe you have jack-stands under it for safety and are just using the wood to compress the suspension a bit?
I think both actually apply here... We are old guys and that's also too much poke!!
I actually went through the effort of having my fenders widened to fit my wheels/tires more properly and I didn't have nearly that much poke.

Yeah I agree, in my head it was a great idea but the execution doesn't seem to flow well. Changing the calipers would definitely help, but I'm just not inclined to spend money doing something that really isn't needed. Especially when I should be fixing my head bolt issue.
I'm probably not going to keep the wheels but the easiest way to see how the car would look with different colored calipers would be to use good ol' photoshop!
P.S. They may be seen in the classifieds pretty soon.

I agree with the majority here and based on those 3 color choices the red calipers probably look the best with those wheels. Another option would be to go with white calipers to match your body and that color should be neutral enough not to clash with the bronze wheels.
I say keep the bronze wheels and use them as a track set-up once you get your engine fixed. Your gonna need a nice drag radial set-up so you can start running some 11's!!!

Mike's car has got to be crazy fast now! I wished I lived closer so I could check out both your cars in person!
But it's not all about power. A big part of your time is your launch and shifting. My last two times out I ran low 12's so I'm hoping to be able to break into the 11's if I can I get my tranny fixed sometime later this year (along with a pair of Nittos)... and I'm down ~300+ HP on you and Mike. So with your new axles, drag radials, and a good launch you should be knocking on that 10 second door... easily mid to low 11's.

I've never been too big a fan of overly stanced cars, crazy neg camber, or super wide wheels that poke out. Maybe I'm getting old. Works for my car though, more than happy. Old photo, but you can sort of make out the wheel fitment. Also, the splitter rods are gone. Looked too ricey on a sedan.

They do not make a one piece spoiler that covers/replaces the chrome trim that does not have a hole for a backup cam so you can buy me the full backup cam and I'll replace my silly spoiler just for you
