Default Your Opinions Please!

Guys -

So like many of you, I have embarked on a pretty extensive wishlist of modifications for my D. Since I put my Viper Reps on, it seems to have accelerated my desire to really make her a daily driver show-and-go truck.

So here is my dilemma. I've been really decisive about everything to date, but am stuck on caliper covers. I'm stuck between:

- Red with black MOPAR, R/T, or M logo
- Black with red MOPAR, R/T, or M logo
- Mineral Gray with Black MOPAR, R/T, or M logo
- Carbon Fiber with Silver MOPAR, R/T or M logo

Here's a cool pic I snapped today to help you decide:

Please let me know your thoughts!

Depends on the look you are going for really. Red would be a sport look, gray to match would be clean looking, black would be stealth and not show brake dust. But I think you would lose the carbon fiber look unless somebody gets really close, which will be pretty uncommon.

Personally I am getting the same color combo you have for my new one and I am planning on red with white dodge logo, to give it some color. Did the red with my blacked out 12 and it turned out nice.

Personally, I'd choose ones that offer a high contrast to the body color or one that mimics the body color.
Red is a popular choice because it offers high contrast to dark colors, looks cool and it says "Brembo," even thoug they aren't. I don't think you can go to Hell for a little harmless deception. :-) I put red covers on my Gray '12 Crew for the reasons outlined above and because I got a good deal on a used set.
As for mimicing body color, well, so far red/red and black/black are the most popular. Haven't seen blue/blue, silver/silver or white/white but I'm sure they are out there.
I think the white/white would rock . . . any volunteers? :-)

Why not just spend 1/3 of that cost and get a caliper paint system and paint them yourself? Never been a fan of the covers, just my .02

Mineral grey w/ black Mopar will match nicely. If you go red, get some red R/T badges for the grill and back to match.

I did black with the silver Dodge and 2 red stripes. I think they look great with the stock R/T wheels

Carbon will look bad. Trust me, i tryied them but didn't like really.
Red - too tritely. everyone puts red)
I guess Mineral Gray with Bright Silver R/T LOGO will be best, as steve suggested. Or with black logo
