    iam going to do this as well dwn the road but I am also going to paint my rims black so I think that would hide the blk caliper so I am going to do them in silver mica the same color of the truck, I think red would look great to make every hting POP on ur truck.:D

    It's possible no one in a thread that ended 7 years ago is paying any attention. ;)
