I've been wanting to paint my brake calipers for a while now.

For standard brakes I've always liked red calipers with the white nissan text across the front of them but considering my car is red, I was thinking that Yellow or Gold might look good or maybe even Black.

Does any one have decent pictures or care to share some thoughts on the colour combinations stated above? Even other colours not mentioned for that matter, I would love to see/hear them.

Cheers.

personal opinion here: if you go gold, then it'll look like brembos (which they aren't) so to some people you'll look like a fake. yellow, is very eye catching, but to me yellow + red doesn't work. I'd go a darker colour. Safe would be satin black, but that may be a bit boring for you. Other suggestions would be a dark bronze, or a gunmetal grey, if you wanted to go really out of the box, go and find some midnight purple!

I did mine red and put the letters as white my cars black so the red on black looks good but not sure if you want red on red ? But here is what mine looks like any way {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif ImageUploadedBySAU Community1382461958.317189.jpg

Nice job. Red calipers are nice I have to say.

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
