What color is your car? If it's yellow I say stay yellow.
If it's black go red.
Just don't do black cause that's boring.

i'd say black... just so it "blends" better, and sort of dissappears

well, i have a black car with black rims, and i am planning on getting mine powder-coated faux chrome to shine through the black rims.

however, on your car, i say silver or red for aftermarket rims, or black for stock rims.

Red because that's what color SRT-4 and Vipers are and it looks good on most body colors.

my stock ones were gloss black...I liked it that way.

Now my frotn ones are silver, and the back drums are gloss black, so they blend in.

I'm going with Endless blue on mine. Blue behind gold rims while in motion down the highway is sex.

I miss my neon at times. She treated me well and taught me a lot about cars in general. I will always have a special place in my heart for these cars. Heres to the 2gn community.

I have a maroon 03 r/t and I just did mine. Walmart(and I am sure that evil corp. has made it to where you are at) has a metallic red. But I would make some recommendations before you do it. 1st have money to do an abs brake flush if you got it. If you dont have abs no worries. Second remove the calibers and pistons, and the rubber piston sleeve, they are easy to take off. third get some good grey primer, it helps to see where you are spraying and helps maintain the caliber itself by proctecting it. Then use what ever color you want. You can also get a clear gloss spray to go over it. But whatever you do, just remember its easier to spray once you got those calibers off.
