My car is white and all my mods so far have been black
but then again red would be a good contrast. Ive already decided to paint the header cover black. Tell me what you think, opinions wanted. sorry if this is in the wrong catagory -------------------- |

i think you should you do it like this,
brake calipers- black/silver head cover- silver/black (i think red would be to dramatic seeing as your car "theme" is black/white) Just my opinions, and if i may be so bold and go as far as rim color i would say black/ or gunmetal would look amazing.

Those rims are hot. But IMO i think that celicas look best with minimal amount of spokes. I LOVE any 5 spoke rim on the celicas, 6 also look good IMO. But whatever choice you make i think it will look good.

If you paint your calipers a light color, they will dirty VERY fast.
And brake dust is hard to clean from calipers unless you remove the wheels every time you clean them. Even then, it will stick in the cracks... Stick with black for the calipers. --------------------  |

i vote red , will give the car that ferrari look, and the calipers will stand out from behind the wheels,
will also make the calipers look like brembo's... thats why i went with red
