It'll match the theme of your car better. Should even match that pink sticker you have on your car.

on your car.... Pink. will go well with the pink in the decal and any other pink things you add. but I would be carfull not to over do the pink.
I think the little bit of pink you have in your banner
JUST the calipers pink (not brackets, and rotor... to much pink) with purple RX-8 logos, and white wheels!
and maybe a little pink decal on your rear side windows (wait...dont you have one already?)
would be just the right amount of pink. I would not get crazy and start going nuts on it. I think it should be an accent color, not a 2nd color.
Purple seat inserts ( and door inserts) would look kick butt on your car to!
Purple under hood details (hoses, wire loom.... with very little pink accents)
that would be the perfect amount of white, pink, purple, and silver to me.

mmm... i guess it depends what statement you're trying to make. pink calipers implies that the owner is either (a) a flaming homo -or- (b) a female owner -or- (c) a guy who's driving his gf's car... LOL in any case, it's a bold statement i guess...

I think the Pink would look AWESOME on your car as long as it's subtle (as Casey said)
Can't wait to see how it comes out.

God, just realized how bad I am at this photo shop stuff.
Well, to me, the pink looks best on the dark rim option. I like white with your stock rim setup. I think white would look best with silver or stock wheels...it also looks nice with the dark wheels and would definately look best with bronze or gold rims. Pink and gold don't go well. Then again, maybe even that "hammered gold" caliper paint would look good with bronze wheels.
Why not dark purple like the Rotorlution banner?
Either way, both are going to be a pain to keep clean.

true.... true.... at least these look somewaht real from a distance. you would have to accually look at them to see that they are fake. those simulated drilled rotors looked pretty cheesy!

nice. i think they'd look better without applying the logo text though.

did you guys watch the installation video on the caliper covers?
As for the pics....you do live close to Norton AFB. These are probably just prototypes.
