Help on New Caliper Colors
Ok, so my next project will probably be a set of brakes... Here's my options
1) Brembo (Red)
2) Project Mu - (color????)
My dilema is Project Mu doesn't do red and they have their std green, a new silver, and a graphite....
I'm leaning towrds the graphite, but let me know what you all think !
FYI If you have never heard of Project Mu, it is a very reputable company that is similar to Brembo in Japan. No loss of performance. There product is top notch and I figured no one else would have it so it would be a change of pace. Pricing is about the same.....
(IMO I would only use these: -Brembo, Project Mu, Alcon, AP, Endless-)

Is it the picture, or does the green one look more like teal? Dunno it that will go with your Glacier Frost. Out of the choices you provided, I would say the red. Definitely not the green ones. The graphite ones would look like the stock ones unless you got up close.

Even though it was not an option I think brembo gold or silver would match the frost much better. In my opinion red while still looking good has been done so many times before. It is also emulated too much, many people paint their stock calipers and brake drums red to look cool. Besides your car looks clean as hell, I have seen it in person at status. If anyone hasn't seen glacier frost in the morning light you should check it out it is hypnotizing. Bottom line is silver or gold will set it off. In my worthless opinion of course

If you had a JDM wheel, I would say the Project Mu's but since you have the HRE's I would go with the Brembo's in red... Or Endless in blue
Ok, I changed my mind... ENDLESS in blue.

Not a 3GS, but HRE with Brembo on my GS400 for reference.. a little old (different kit now) but you get the idea. 19" 840R and 14" GT brakes
