what color should i go with for the caliper on my baer brake kit?

i'm thinking polished; but i'm worried that the looks won't last......maybe red? what do you think?




i'm also trying to decide on the hat of the rotor.......they come finished in black or for so much extra i can change the color to an anodized look. here again i was thinking red; what do you think?

 

red car, red calipers........

I think red calipers look good on any car, regardless of body color.....

 

it's so hard with the cool look of polished calipers....thanks for the suggestions though!

 

What about silver??

 

gloss black

 

the only silver or anything close is similar to the stock pbr look........

only problem with black is they don't stand out..........hense the point of purchasing a baer kit over something like 1-le.

 

this may sound dumb, I'm just not sure how polished would look with the chrome rims, maybe that would be best though

 

gloss black or bright red.

 

What ever color you want

 

For maximum visual impact, red would be my choice, although gloss black or polished look would look OK.

 

I think red would look best, but its your choice.

 

agree...
i think he should paint them the same coler of his car

 

EDIT
agree...
i think he should paint them the same color of his car

 

Hot Pink would stand out....

But I guess you could go with red tooo.

 

Don't get me wrong....the polished look would be nice.....but.....I think that a bright red or black would probably look better.......just an opinion.....your car...do what you want....!!

 

i like seeing calipers painted red.

but ultimately, go with what you decide

 

i did mine up in a deep blue cause my pads were like a gloss black with red trim already looks sweet

 

From what I can gather you are going with the eradispeed rotors? If so spend the bucks on a red hat with red calipers.. though of course plain calipers with the black hatted crossdrilled slotted and zinc washed eradispeeds stand out plenty good on their own..

Either way can't say enough good things about my set.

 

where did you purchase your set again???

 

I've always been a fan of matching the caliper color to the body of the car. But it also depends on what the wheels look like. The main thing I keep in mind is 'What would it look like with the wheel spinning?' I love the illusion when the wheel is spinning so fast you can no longer see the spokes but instead the brakes and calipers really stand out. Helps if the wheel is powdercoated a dark color. Also keep in mind how often you'd have to clean them. If it was polished or something I'd imagine you'd have to clean it good after driving in the rain ... every time ...

 

well, i don't plan on driving in the rain unless i have too.......in which case i could just clean them anyway.

with brake dust you have to keep up on the calipers no matter what color or type they are to keep them looking nice. i'm just looking at the standpoint of what would look better. as far as the rims well you see what's on my car so i guess i'll just have to make my own decision.

i'm going to go with the red anodized hat for sure now it's just the calper..........i'm thinking about going with the red seeing as how i have the chrome rims and the baer words would be a polished look. but the polished caliper with red baer letters would look sweet too.

i really wish i could find a picture of both?

 

Maybe if you post a picture of the set-up it couldn't be that hard to photoshop...........just an idea...........

 

that's a very good idea.........yet i don't have those kind of tools or a good close up of the setup.
