I would paint them.....why not give them some protection against brake dust? Nobody said they have to be bright yellow or chrome'd out.

I have a 13 avenger thays black I'm doing the calipers red. And a 08 silver gxp I'm doing blue. My jeep is green so I was thinking copper like my other accents wouldn't be to blingy or out there but lime ypu said give some protection and a little bit of difference when its clean. My buddy say negatron

How did your re-gear go? What did you go with? Are you ready for a rematch with that Grand Cherokee?
