I also think that might be too much orange... But just to be sure... Maybe someone can do a quick photoshop??

Otherwise, I think red calipers with either white or black lettering, or yellow calipers with black lettering, would make a nice contrast.

Now this is one of those things that you would think looks terrible if someone were to just tell you about it. Fortunately for you, it looks awesome when you actually see it!

Hre did an awesome job, but I really would like to have the brakes painted. My problem is what your all having trouble figuring out, what is gonna look good at the end of the day.

I've always loved the Esprit... Yours is AWESOME.

As for the brakes, I think that black with orange lettering would be sweet.

If it were my personal car... Orange brakes... But I really like bold.

Looks great, need a smaller profile front tire though. I also would do a orange caliper.

I am so jealous, I wanted chrome orange more than anything, but there aren't that many out there. I bought a black on black Final Edition with 3,500 miles, lowest I've seen. I'd trade for chrome orange in a heart beat

You bought it with 450 or it currently has 450? That's insanely low if that's all you've got on it, I put more miles on mine in a week than that thing has total. You must have some insane self control.
