Green calipers?

How wrong would this be...I'm having my calipers painted by ACG customs in LA. The same company that did my GTR calipers. I have a black 6M. I really want to use a vibrant green (Verde Scandal) on the calipers. My only reservation is that it doesn't follow any of the BMW Performance "M" colours. I used Lamborghinis Montery blue on my GTR and love it. I've done the black and blue theme on the GTR, I was thinking Black and Green on the X6M.

Thoughts?

IMO why not. If that's what you like. I don't think there is any need to follow the "BMW M color" scheme. There is a guy here in Ontario called Brightside Customs that refinishes and rebuilds brembo calipers as well.

His name is Mike- Tell him the Steve from Hamilton with the Black X6M referred you. He is currently doing my Eisenmann Exhaust tips. I was in there today and he had some wicked Brembo brakes fresh from powder coat. He stocks all the Brembo seals and parts.

It depends it you're going for the 'Hey, look at my calipers' or 'HEY, LOOK AT MY CALIPERS' look.

If my car was awesome green, which I'd like, but I've been told would suck on my giant car I'd go with the green hands down because it would give me tha 'Hey...' look. With my dark car, personally, I'd go with an equally awesome, yet darker color. Like I sai though, I'm a 'Hey..' person on my calipers.
