Needing some help to visualize a mod

And I haven't got a copy of Photoshop to play with. If anyone has a spare few minutes, if they would be so kind as to modify this picture. What I am looking to do is have my wheels and calipers powder coated. The wheels I'd like to have black, and the calipers is the toughy. I can't decide on yellow or red calipers.

Thank you soooooooooooo much!

Robyn

No problem Robyn. If you're looking for wheels, have you thought about the GT3 wheels? I think Gert has them...

RobynC,

Go with the yellow calipers - everyone has red If you want to do something a little different you could always sell your wheels and get the 19 inch Techarts. I'm sure you'd be very happy with them.

Looking forward to meeting you at the Bay Area drive!

I love the way the yellow calipers look on a yellow car... even more so with the yellow belts. Its a whole matching theme. Perhaps someone can photoshop the wheels black for a better idea of how it would look with yellow calipers.

RobynC;
Yellow calipers will look great on your car.
The all black wheels do not look good to me. A polished rim would help a bit, but that is still a very agressive. I don't know how "bad" you want your car to be?
Also, it appears in the photos that you have not lowered the car?
You could further study your wheel options, but proceed with yellow calipers and lowering the car.

Thanks guys!! I really appreciate your help with this one. Sentipede, nice job...!! I think that I have definitely decided for the yellow calipers...and definitely decided against the black wheels. The way a woman (this woman) sees it, it's like putting black sneakers on when you are wearing white jeans...BIG, HUGE fashion no no. Actually, white jeans are a big no no now that I think about it.

This place is great! Thanks!
Robyn

Yellow calipers, and do GT3 wheels like the RS but instead of red or blue consider black.

Wow, that looks much better with the uncoated silver outer rim. I should have thought to do that...

Wheels/Calipers

I personnally like the silver wheels. But how about painting the wheels body color? Might look interesting. Definitely go with the yellow calipers.

You should consider the black Techart wheels they look great on a speed yellow car like yours. C4SCAB send her a picture of your car....he also has yellow calibers.
