Putting it against the white changed the translucent yellow to a solid yellow and then i decided the yellow and white looked fine, so I left it at that and painted the calipers to match. i'm cleaning them this week as the oem rims leave alot of brake dust on them. hopefully the new rims will take alot of that off.
Oooooo new rims! I'll be excited to see pics! Before I add any of the color i'm going to get my OEM rims powdercoated (also new tires). That way the focal points will be on the colors and not my bright silver rims.

I also ordered some 6 LED wedge bulbs to replace my parking lights. (Currently they are Ultraviolet, but I ordered red, blue, and amber). I'm going to test the lights and see which look best... that will probably affect my decision on the paint color. Hopefully amber = orange, as I cannot find any orange LEDs.

Thanks for your input!
