i think red looks best with yellow cars and most other colors for that matter.

Agreed Aaron. Red goes very well with most machinery because societal conditioning have us associating it in this manner.

Yellow is now considered the modern red in its function. Before, red was thought to attract the most attention, but psychological studies have shown that yellow combined with black elicits "hyper" awareness. As a corollary, your black ES will look sporty, elegant, and passionate with the red calipers AND if you had painted them yellow, your black ES will look modern, tight, and precise.

Red calipers with a yellow car IMO looks fantastic, but looks tooo passionate. I'd do it if the car was turbocharged.

Silver (my car) is a technical color. Very cold. I chose red calipers because it needed a bit of emotion.

Thanks for the Photoshop work! The purple acutally looks pretty cool, but I really like the orange. Its a good contrast from yellow. I have some orange stickers on my car (www.protegeclub.com of course!). Im going to keep a look out for orange paint, but I may go with royal blue. Is royal blue the blue you are talking about?

Ah, I see you have orange stickers.

The blue I'm talking about is RACING BLUE manufactured by G2, the same company as the brake paint I used. Mine was ROSSO RED.

You can see some photos here on a Nissan Sentra site.
