Cool calipers

okay i just got my rx8 a few days ago.. to be honest, i never knew much about cars but this car just makes me so much happier, and it actually makes me want to learn more..

wat color would you paint calipers on a silver rx8?

I'd do silver but since the car is silver you could do just about anything. My blue one came already painted silver.

There's so many options! and now i'm thinking maybe i should just get rims first.. i know wheels are more important (&expensive)

With silver, you can go any color and do well. I have silver on my Winning Blue. For silver, you can easily go silver (to blend in), blue (to complement), or red (to stand out).
