Tough call. There will be about 70% fewer CS models with gold calipers.

Don't they come in red and gold depending on which brakes you choose? Why would you repaint to the same color?

I'm repainting my orange Brembos. Picture is above. My brembo kit is going on the CS

I have to be honest, I LOVE the MS with black/red, and for sure prefer it over the black/gold. BUT, if I wanted to do something different, I think bright silver would be nicer than gold as well, and would certainly make you stand out from the crowd.

It would be nice to show off that you have a custom setup with a different color.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Keep it comin. Still a tough decision. I love red but gold will give it a cleaner look. Also I'm prob gonna add these to the bbs. I think with good it will all tie together

The blue centercaps came from the magnesium RE-MG, one of my favorite BBS wheels. If I got FI-R's I was going to get the blue caps for them. Great choice. And would look great with silver calipers.

I'm leaning towards red or gold. I feel like silver will just look dirty most of the time. But it would be different.

Could be. I keep my car immaculate, and have Akebono pads (no race car here), so silver would work for me, but it depends on how clean you keep your car and how you're using it. Silver could fade over time as well.

Not sure the silver would look great on the gold either.
