Agreed. Both colors look great though.

I like the blue but I'd be indifferent to red. Certainly wouldn't pay extra for caliper paint if I had to. Silver calipers would set off nice against the black shadow machine face wheels on a blue car

Could I trouble you for a rear three quarter and/or rear shot of the car?

Very similar spec to what I'm considering changing my order to. IMO I think the red calipers makes the car pop.. do it

Thank you, and WOW, looks incredible. I've been leaning towards the blue callipers to avoid that $500 CAD fee, but I might have to cave. I see you added tint as well, looks really great!

I had made a mockup using your previous post using an app to get an idea of the blue callipers with PB, attached

I'm so happy with how it's looking right now, thank you! I'm cracking up at the bow and its reflection there, blue does look good too!
You could always paint the calipers later (likely for less than $500) if you decide red was always the answer.

This is definitely something to consider, give it a "fresh" look in a couple years. I just noticed your black roof, is that a wrap?

Are you looking for a bird's eye view shot, or what specifically?

What percent tint did you do? I was thinking about doing 15%

20% on all side windows, 60% windshield! 20% is legal limit here, and I don't need any more reasons to get pulled over
