I am getting new OE calipers all around and I plan on having them powder coated or just painted black

Black or Silver is not rice

eh, my car is all black (rims, paint, tint, interior) the nasty bland grey doesn't help at all. The black, when properly kept up with, should/will make it look nice

painting/coating calipers makes them retain heat. heat+brake fluid = bad juju

what the hell is up with people asking if something is rice? if ya like it then do it. dont worry about other people andwhat they think is rice. in my oppinion your more of a ricer if you do what eveyone else thinks is cool on the car. like the damn jdm bandwagon.
