Re: Opinions
depends on what look your going for, polish caliper will stand out more.

Re: Opinions
Go for the polished look in that detail. Every inch of that truck is all about the details! For a low-rider that one sets the standards.
 Always remember: Chrome is a color too!  Nice ride. Mark

Re: Opinions
I agree with bigblock, I think the black/black combo has a more stealthy look that goes with the subtleness of the truck. The polished one looks good but just not the right look for your truck. IMHO

Re: Opinions
Black kinda dies on there. Give it some color or shine. Are you going to run rear discs too?

Re: Opinions
yeh, I'm going to run 14" front 6 piston and 13" rear with 4 piston..I know what you mean that it needs something, but not sure what...I want it to be subtle but not boring if that makes any sense.

Re: Opinions
You might consider the color of the truck, the Chevy tan?, or as someone mentioned, white, or there is the chevy "gold" in that stripe. The tan might be interestingly unique.

Re: Opinions
If you want color, then I suggest grey if black doesn't suit ya.
Hey, did the defroster duct get to you in one piece?

The black draws your eye to the white lettering and I like that!
