I own the Gun metal grey type s and been shaking my head at a few things that need pimping up, the Callipers need a revamp, Painting them seems a good start, what colour would work best? I like the Red look but open to suggestions. if you have a photo of yours too stick it on here, cheers guys. ;)
 
whats the colour of your wheels? mine calipers are in gold with white decals :)

Mine are black, to avoid to much distraction off my gunmetal wheels.

But probably a nice dark bronze would be nice too.
 
3d brembo caliper covers! ha
i got a set in the other day ,,, still to add them on they look a lot more realistic than my mates 350z oem brembos!
only reason i got them is the brake caliper gets covered in dust and looks ***** all the time so this is to keep it clean!

Subtle colour is my choice unless you have a bbk then kawasaki green :D
 
Red with a white Honda logo, like on my 6th gen :D

I will be painting mine when the weather improves stock Silver for me ;)
 
I have the same as Whereami with stock dark greyish wheels , I cant stand red but I think because of the gun metal grey car paint that red will be the best colour to go.
My Prelude is silver with black wheels so I painted them Silver , match's perfect..

But where did you guys get those white Honda decals from ?

Hammerite is as good as any paint for callipers as its got a high Temp rating
When we get some good weather i will post some photos up in my gallery.

Got mine from eBay, same place I get all my car parts :p they're on special heat proof vinyl as I imagine the regular stuff would get mullered pretty quick. I'll try find a link, was at least a year ago I got mine now though!
 
Red or Yellow, but just an opinion though.
