Default Red calipers

I'm thinking of painting my calipers red this week when we change the brakes. Think it'll look good? And Advanced Auto has the kit for like $10 right?

Or you could get a small can of the Rustoleum Sunrise Red and a couple sponge brushes.

The only thing that would stop me from doing that on a 2nd gen is the drums on the back. I dont think big red drums would be too attractive. On my 01 I did black all around when I put the 20's on it and it looked good. I vote black

That is true... so black all the way around? And is it pretty easy to paint the drums?

I agree, big red drums won't look the best.
