Your thread title had me thinking...he's not really going to drop that much money on the SSBC calipers is he?

I'd say red too. I think it would go well with the other colors and offset things a bit. Yellow calipers I think would look too much "Ricer" on your truck. That's just my opinion though. Plus, isn't red kind of an International color?

For more color options and to see the colors on a caliper...check out this site:

http://g2usa.com/

If you let it sit the caliper color will keep changing colors.

My dealer sells that stuff (deciding what to do on my 07).

On my 01 I did black.....if you want the calipers to stick out, don't do black. If you want them to be subtle and look clean, then the black is nice.

Keep the colors the same, I say go yellow, if you get too many colors it just doesn't look right, more of distraction than and attraction.

Thanks so much, everyone for the opinions. I think you've swayed me to red. I do have alot of red under the hood, and the more people i ask, and the more i think about it, im leaning towards red.

Someone has to be crazy to pay retail price for SSBC, that's all there is to it!

Tomorrow i can possibly take a picture of the caliper area and then if someone is willing to photoshop it, that would be awesome.

Yo Ron, naaa yo, i ain't be puttin LEDs behind my wheels, that and country music don't mix.

SSBC isn't that expensive when you compare it to the Boss MASSIV system (dimpled rotors, 12? piston calipers....need 22s to clear them, etc..) that costs ~$14,000.00 for the front and rear setup.

After seeing those colors on that caliper, I think blue would look good too.

I was thinking it would match your underhood stuff too, but forgot to mention that.

Take a pic, email it to me. I've got photoshop.

RED id say. it looks more PRO than yellow ricer . looks loke Brembo. they were the first ones to have red calipers, and people tend to look and when they see Red firs thing on (my mind is this guy has upgraded brakes ) their mind is he got brakes

I vote black or just leave it alone. I'm not really into bling myself, but I have to say, your truck looks nice. Awesome INTERNATIONAL badges on it. Good luck making your decision

Get the hood lines fixed, it still looks a little off, or do I not need any more beer. then do brakes. I voted yellow, but am changing my mind to RED after DC's link.
