White Z28 emblems w/ White calipers on Black car?
 
I woke up today and this thought slapped me in the face. Has anyone seen a black Z with White Z28 emblems? ... (If it looks good) Do you guys think it'd be cool to have white Z28 emblems and to paint my calipers white? ... I have a blurry image in my head of that looking really hot. I know white calipers get dirty quick. Anyway, can anyone do a chop or get a pic of a black camaro with white emblems?

(oh and if someone does a chop, go ahead and chop in a 4" cowl for me, I want one bad)

I can't do the chop but I think that would look good.

I would do red myself, for the badge and the claipers, but thats just me.

White calipers wont be good.. They will get dirty really easy. IMO stay away from white on the calipers..

I know they would get dirty, I mentioned that in the post if u read it. But you never see white calipers, so Im trying to figure out if I would like the look or not.

I think it would look decent, but only if kept clean. I think its the second part that keeps most people away from it.

Black and red is a proven scheme to look good, but just about everyone does it..so I would say try it. Worst case you decide its too much work to try and keep clean and you change them to another color.

I do however think it would look better with black wheels now that I think about it. I just think it would get too dirty to look good, but it would look good behind black rims.

If you got some ceramic brake pads the calipers probably wouldn't get too dirty. Don't get me wrong they'd still get dirty just not as fast.

Keep an eye on them and they shouldnt get too dirty, but as far as the emblems - i've seen white on black and it looks tacky. Polished emblems or stock would be your best bet.

I was thinking a silver type also

Try it. If you don't like it, repaint over everything in a different color.

Amurican_Muscle 09-18-2006 06:40 PM

Yeah ... I kinda wanna go for it. I can see how the white emblems would look tacky. hmm ... White clean calipers with stock emblems ...

What are these polished emblems you speak of? ... Haven't seen em I dont think. And Im not sure if i've ever seen silver emblems on a black car either... both look good?

And say I wanted to try out white emblems, where would I find them? Did they come stock on some specific color car?
