    F + R red calipers on a yellow car doesn't look right to me, as you mentioned that McDonald's-esque feel. I'm not sure but red calipers on a car is somewhat played out perhaps because it's too common, take a look at the Momo Edition G and you can draw your own conclusion.

    Red looks good. It is always nice to have something a little different!

    looks good to me. I have a yellow 92 Diablo. When I up grade the brakes I will go with red calipers.

    I would paint the white lettering black or red or some other darker color. The white lettering stands out way too much.

    Ill have a vanilla shake and McVik Caliper, please. SUPER SIZE!


    Im not a fan of red as a color. Yes, i know I drive a Red Ferrari. Other then the car, i own nothing red. My next car will probably not be red, either.

    Im of the opinion, Vik, that one should never mess with perfection. Your car is absolutely gorgeous. If you feel you want to/have to change something and add some color, I would try a darker, navy type blue.

    Youll laugh, but like i said yesterday-- PS2 and XBOX have those need for speed games. I have one of them. When you build your car, you can see every color caliper with any color body. Things you figure would look good a lot of times dont. And things that youd laugh at sometimes look surprisingly good together.

    Ultimately, its whatever you like. The G you posted above with the red calipers looks a little better then I visualized in my head.

    How bout Roadflare Red? (its a color of an old Ibanez Guitar. Its a cross between cotton candy and hot pink. The glowing end of a road flare)

    I bet that would look WILD.

    IMO yellow would be too much yellow, just doesn't look right to me when the calipers are the same color as the car. Black is boring, red on a yellow car, or yellow on a red car looks just right!

    you can never go wrong with RED calipers! all my cars have red powder coated calipers. (of course none of mine are supercars like yours) but you get my opinion. LOL

    Thanks guys. I think I'm going to try this route. Can somebody photoshop one of the pictures up top to show how it would look if all four calipers were red.

    Anybody think I should go with the just two calipers red (front or back set) / two calipers black - as shown in the pictures?

    Red looks good. But do all four wheels, otherwise I think it'll look tatty.

    I always wondered why Lambo didn't offer red calipers, on a black car it looks brilliant. Was surprised to see it not on the options list.
