You linked the URL for the Picasa page as an image- that won't work. You need to link to the image URL, which should work:

thanks...so that's my SVX...what you guy think?

Trunklid/spoiler color throws it off for me.

Yes a black spoiler would look better ... Or the original all red , but the black spoiler would be easier and less expensive

The stock rims cover the calipers pretty well, so all that work painting the calipers would be for very little dramatic effect. Also, imo the stock calipers aren't anything to accent or bring attention too. They aren't like the nice smooth etc brembos or stop tech type calipers. Also, i agree with the others, simply paint the spoiler. The black/red combo is one of the best

It looks good. Your wheels are on the wrong sides. As far as black rims with red calipers I think it could work. Especially if there's like a red stripe around the edge of the wheels. Like these:

Each to their own guys. IMO SVX calipers aren't that good looking so why make them stand out? I wouldn't wear a yellow suit as everyone would stare and see what a fat/old/ugly/ twat I am. (Can I say twat?)
Now if the calipers were machined from billet and anodised black with those red lined black wheels then happy days. Maybe s/steel taper head allen screws with lockwire could provide some 'bling'.

I actually prefer rust to fake brembos...no matter how non-fake they look like, you still deep down feel bad about them....or that's just me

I know...apparently the stupid Costco tire guy didn't know how to read the L and the R on the tires(done by prev owner and i'm too lazy to get it fixed...it also could peel some of the new paint off
and about the rims...i prefer to keep it kinda stock...for now

that's the thing...they are way hidden behind the rims...it seemed nice to have them visible you know:P

Sorry guys but red calipers? Ladies of the night underwear/teenage fad only. Your SVX deserves something classier than that.

IDK what your talking about. Red Calipers look nice. Heres my old car, Conn SVX's car now, with them.
