    Ok, I'm slowly moving from a blue/silver color scheme to a black/silver color scheme and I need to repaint my calipers. Should I paint them black and put a silver "GTP" decal on the front calipers, or should I paint them silver and put a black "GTP" decal on the front calipers?


    (I might do a supercharged decal instead of GTP, I'm not sure yet.)

    Here's a pic from my last photo shoot:

    (3.4 MPS, DHP 1.0 tune, ZZP Plog & 3" DP, 2.5" cat-back exhaust, resonator delete, AL104 plugs, 180* T-stat, Falken Ziex 245/45/18 tires)

    I'd rather see more contrast and go with red calipers, silver or black brackets, silver lettering.

    While I do think that would look sweet, that's not one of the options.

    At least pick one of the ones I put in the poll.

    Well, since you "forced" me to choose, silver calipers with black lettering.

    Hmmm. I'll think about red. Gotta see what my co-driver says.

    Ok guys, you convinced me - red wins. I'm going to do red paint, should I do black or silver lettering?

    Now as far as the decals go, which of the following do you think I should do:

    None
    "GTP"
    "Pontiac"
    "Supercharged"
    "Grand Prix"
    "3800"
    Pontiac Arrow

    Decals make the car too cluttered looking. I think you should strip the badge from the trunk instead of adding more decals.

    Meh. I've thought about that actually. I'll take that badge and put it right in the middle of the hood.
