I painted mine orange on a gunmetal grey 03 coupe. Sounds gross but looks awesome. Look for the post. Slick

thanks.

but i think i'm opting for a new front bumper and i'm afraid the rims won't match the kit. maybe i'll put a post on that later.

anyway, just a suggestion, but black brake calipers look tight in my opinion. i'd go for gloss black if possible. my friend has it on his ride and if i could redo it, i suppose i'd do it in black.

I dont think painting your fronts only red would look right. I would paint em either black or gunmetal.

im gonna give it a shot, it's just paint, I can redo it anytime if I don't like it. I just don't want to do the drums red cause I think thats doing too much. While we're on the subject of calipers and stuff, how hard of a job would it be to put on some rear disc brakes off an EX onto my LX?

yo the red calipers will look hot man!
and leaving the drums black is definately an awsome idea
but did you think about painting the drums red, no offense to you if you did, but i've seen it on sentras, corollas, and other cars and its just like "hey, check out my big ol' nasty drums", or like "check out how non-performance my back brakes are"
thats just as bad as those colored, cross drilled look-a-like covers they make for drums, which look buttnasty in person

to any one with color painted drums:
do your thang, if you like it rock it, that just ain't my steezo(not hating/flaming just expressing opinion)

BTW i know i'm horrendous with this long-ass post
can't wait to see the pics
good luck:thumbup:
