Has anyone ever done yellow Calipers on a Red GT and do you have pictures you can post.

What would it take to silk screen the RPM Gauge in a matching Yellow with a GT logo in just below the center of the arm?

Harsh---but funny.

Look at some special ed Vipers from 96 or 97 (Vegas Vacation had one) The ketchup and mustard look has a limited but faithful following (I am not one of them)

Those cars and the Millenium Yellow Corvettes with Mod Red interiors are my point of reference. You can be very subtle incorporating yellow and red, but I wouldn't recommend trying it. Way too easy to end up looking like a promotional vehicle for the Golden Arches.

I was just thinking of a way to get Ronald in the car.

But seriously, in my opinion, something like Yellow Scuderia badges on a Red Ferrari are about as far as you should push that combo.

Well said, Dave. But this thread made me laugh.

Needs a GT logo where the M is before I would wear it.

Okay you guys are all A$$wipes :lol:lol and I thought Trent was a friend, Geez....:cheers

I just saw a Red 430 with Yellow Calipers and it looked good and why asked. I did not realize I was older than dirt and had a problem with short term memory. Now I am beginning to know what EP feels like on a daily basis...:willy:willy

Next time I need group support, I'll know where to go....The local Bar....

You have slightly more chance of getting away with a red/yellow combo with a Ferrari. I think it would be hard to match the GT red with a deep enough yellow that doesn't make it look like McDonalds colors. If you went less saturated yellow it probably wouldn't look right at all.

You can always try and see if it works.

Don't listen to the haters . My CS is red with yellow calipers and looks great. Not sure how it would look
on a FGT however. Do it and you can always paint them back if they look bad...
