Poll: Painting calipers...

What do people think for the 8? What colour combo has been gone with? I have a titianium grey and bronze after market wheels. I mistakenly got dark cherry red wheel nuts, would painting my calipers make my car look too "ricey"? Might look too busy with too many colour combos in the wheel area? I also noticed after I took off the wheel centre cap that the part underneath is all rusted. Should I bother painting this over and while I'm at it, repaint part of the centre hub as well (silver part where ppl have complained of rusting?)? Thanks!

I purchased the G2 kit from Matt at RX8GARAGE.NET in black. I have Polak white graphics to place over the black paint.

Which wheels are those by the way?

I see, how do you like them? Is there a noticeable diff from the factory silver to black? Is the black a flat or glossy black?
They're Volks ce28s

Have not painted them yet. It's a high gloss finish. Here are some details from the Sentra Online Magazine. And the G2 Site

I see thanks for the link, I think I've seen some package similar to that one at my local auto shop.

It's better to buy thru our vendors section.

Thew or (Matt) is an excellent source for us.
