Molal24 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Where's a good place to buy some good red calipers for my LGT. And what do you guys think of the caliper covers, are they any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGe Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 whats wrong with just painting them red. you can buy caliper paint in red. OTM. Sorry I didn't mean to start a war which mainly forum people is all about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molal24 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 ^^^ lol I forgot about that. Also what color calipers you think would look best on a Garnet Red LGT? I don't know how red on red would look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 apart from simply painting them as RaGe suggested, the only way I know of to get red calipers would be to get a BBK ($$$) i know the newer wrx tr's came with red brembos, but i'm sure that swap is just as $ as the goldies. (if they even fit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psucaptainkickass Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 ^ They aren't brembos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPLGT Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 DONE!!!!!!! http://cgi.ebay.com.my/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180301066019 Rehab is for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 psu - enlighten us molal - what color wheels? red/red would be kinda odd unless it matched VERY well (IMHO)... and it might not even work then with any wheels other than silver.

No my LGT is Garnet Red. The wheels on it are stock silver. I was just curious how red calipers would look on a red car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudeondacouch Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 bright red calipers on GRP... would look like a woman wearing bright red shoes with a dark red dress. i.e., not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGe Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 yeah i would consider black, or silver. and then put the decals on it> done. OTM. Sorry I didn't mean to start a war which mainly forum people is all about . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones on the WRX TR...or any WRX for that matter (tri grille nose) just has painted calipers that say Subaru on them. They aren't brembos, just pained subie calipers. You can see them poking out in pics here: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.gayot.com/images/auto/subaru/impreza_wrx/closeups.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.gayot.com/lifestyle/automobile/reviews/2006/subaru_impreza_wrx_tr_sedan.html&h=271&w=383&sz=48&hl=en&start=9&um=1&usg=__plb0dYreOfb53Ufva88DIZHvTa8=&tbnid=KMV6TbPwyikqUM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=123&prev=/images%3Fq%3DWRX%2BTR%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:*%26sa%3DN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molal24 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Ok Looks like I'll probably be going with some silver ones. I'm just working on my mod list for something to work on over x-mas break. Some things will probably have to hold off till spring. So far I got: -Paint calipers silver -Black out headlights and remove orange reflector thing -Paint from grill. Whats a good color for this? Black also? or keep it chrome?

Hokiebird Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Aren't 05 calipers silver already? They are probably just really dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
