Here is my idea for my 01 sliver Aurora: Paint the brake calipers the same color than add "AURORA" on them. Kinda like how a Corvettes look. Any one have any suggestions?

I have seen this done. Most of the time, people have painted the calipers red. They stand out better that way. ______________ GM!!! BRING BACK OLDS!!!  |

Red calipers look really sweet, so does the Yellow Brembo style, however the body paint has to work with yellow. Although depends on the rims too...you wanna be able to see the calipers  |

I had considered this long ago. One thing that kept me from doing it was laziness. But the other was that the font would have to be very small due to how it narrows by the piston. And also the fact that our spokes don't open very far in so you probably wouldn't see it like you would on a Corvette. And our calipers are already powdercoated. I think you could just put white letters on the black powdercoat and have a very nice look.   I have some curved versions of the logo, if you want to PM me an email address I'll mail them to you. |

Here's one that's bigger, but it would overrun those ridges, which may or may not look that great:  |

COOL IDEA!!! I just painted mine silver on Sunday. Put new ceramic pads on the front. Backs were like new. I figured since I had everything off, might as well brighten things up. The silver looks really SWEET with the black car.
When I had my Bonny(white) I painted mine bright red behind my 5 spoke Eagle's and it really looked hot! Thought about doing red with the Rora, but went with the Silver instead. Looks really good.
I do like the idea of putting Aurora on them though, I never thought of that. My dad has a friend that owns a graphic business and does vinyl lettering and such. I might see if he could cut some to fit in black lettering.
Thanks for the idea!

Just be careful with the ceramic pads on the stock rotors, they will warp faster now.... But ya, lettering thing is very cool |
