Anyone have pics of silver calipers?
I want to paint my calipers but do not want to do anything flashy like red or yellow. I'm basically debating between silver or black on my blue WRX. Anyone have pics of either silver or black?

Well if someone is willing to photoshop a pic can they please just take any blue WRX, I don't really care as long as it's blue with stock rims? Thanks in advance.

Mine are silver. They're nice and inconspicuous especially with silver wheels. Blends in nicely without looking ricey. Looks a lot better than the ugly rusty stock calipers too. Basically just cleans up the look.

I just notices that all 2004+ Chevys now come with painted cast calipers. Its a nice little touch on their part, something all car manufacturers should do i think.

Go with the silver if your torn between silver and black. It will just flow better in all situations that having a big gaping hole of darkness where the caliper sits behind the wheel if you went black.

I'm pretty sure they are actually manufactured by Eibach to Prodrive's (mystery) specs. Offhand I don't know of anything that Prodrive actually manufactures themselves (other than rally cars)

just a suggestion, but i was trying to find a different look for my platinum silver WRX, and i wandered around advanceauto for awhile and went with "Old Ford Blue," and the results were great. 600 degree engine enamel paint did the trick, and now i went w/ a blue scheme on my car. anybody have anything different?

All Prodrive products are made by others to Prodrive's specs. Their springs are made by Eibach as are the SPT springs and STi Pinks Subaru offers.

Is that the 330 brake conversion kit?
classvi 05-28-2005 10:29 PM

Here's a pic of mine in silver just after I painted them last year. I definatlety recommend this mod, It's inexpensive and looks clean as long as you stick to a more subdued colour.

what are the pieces at the rear of the side skirts. its a nice touch

Those are strakes, which Subaru offers for more than the cost of the skirts themselves...almost anyways. I was lucky enough to buy a set of used painted skirt w/ the strakes attached for $250. I believe the strakes alone are that much.

yeah the strakes do give it a little something extra, but prelude/2.5rs is right...unless you can find some kind of deal on them they are ridiculously priced. Personally, i like my stock painted sideskirts with nothin else.
