As the title states, curious if anyone else has ordered Gun Metal Grey like I did? It seem as if most people if they opted for a different color went Black or with some Orange showing up, but has anyone else gone Grey?

B5 Blue with Orange calipers. They look amazing when clean, but to keep that look I wipe them down once a week (when washing car). They have been coated which does help compared to other vehicles I have had in the past!

Custom.. metallic dark cherry(gloss finish) with srt&kat logo. From a distance they just fade in with the wheel. Up close it’s a nice little change

went stock red as it holds up great, buddy has black and after very short while they faded and looked like crap
Black is crap. The finish was crummy on mine. That’s why I went custom, wasn’t happy with the black at all. Save your money check the stock Calipers box and just go custom After.. It only cost me 600 for all 4 Calipers repaint. They looked great after the shop was finished. My factory ones were an eyesore from day 1 the flat sheen was more dull slate gray in areas than it were black. Seemed overtime with polishing it got even worse. So it was a no brainer to get them redone. But the real no brainer is do not select Black. You have been warned! Also I purchased aftermarket repos that are black gloss finish not satin. Makes the car look way better IMO. The gloss matches the body color perfect. Also repainted my rear valance the body color

Here’s the valance.. ignore the tail light decal that was another mod I tried to do but went back to before because I couldn’t get it to look how I wanted. Just prefered how I had it b4 anyways

My car has black calipers. My 392 had red and I thought they looked great with the Blue Streak Pearl, which is darker than B5, but my wife could not understand why they were red. "Why do you want your brakes to stand out like that?" If someone has to ask, male or female, the explanation may not be worth the effort. Like I said, these are black. LOL

I'm disappointed to hear that they may look bad after a while. The red coating was awesome for holding the color and gloss. Really durable! I can already see where the black may not be as good. Anything I apply to them leaves gray streaks. Not noticeable from a distance - yet. :(

My RE came with red calipers. However, I do like some of the other color combinations posted on this thread.

But have to admit the red calipers go great with pitch black.

Don’t have my car yet, but doing red with sublime. I prefer the red with black and all the bright colors, especially.

Does it ‘clash’? I’m hoping the badge and red belts tie everything together somewhat. If not, meh, figure it matches the overall attitude of the car; the challenger WBRE is not subtle or stealthy by any stretch. The fact you don’t have to fork out another $500 bills for a different color is icing on the cake.
