Suggestions/pics of Green Model S with painted/wrapped calipers?

DieAbetic · Nov 30, 2014

Hello everyone,

Has anyone else with a Green S painted/wrapped the calipers?

I like the look of the red on other cars, but I think it is too "christmas-y" for my taste on the green.

Anyone have suggestions/pics/etc?

Also, I'm in the Los Angeles area if anyone has a vendor they use for painting/wrapping. I am open to painting them myself as well.

Thanks!

is the caliper on the S85 the same as the Red P85 just with a different color? Otherwise it might look like those street racers that just spray paint regular break calipers to look like brembos

You might consider black or silver calipers to match with a green car.

I have seen some golden (not bright yellow) calipers on Lotus that would not have the Christmas look.
And it would go very well with the deep green that Tesla (used to make).
If one is at the next C&C, I will take some pics and forward.

btw: what kind of wheels do you have?
If you have the dark gray 21s, that would really pop out.

Thank you for the responses.

purplewalt: that gold/yellow/orange looks nice. I have regular 19" now, looking for other 19" aftermarket dark colors.

Looks like I need to do some more research...

I just saw some 19" T-Sportline wheels that look great.

#96, #98, #99 and #100
There also are some custom decals that you can install on the hub, depending on your caliper color.

Hi DieAbetic,

You might consider these setups in a dark 19".

I took a couple of pics of some gold/orange caliper variations @ yesterday's C&C in Plano.

and on a heavily modified Jeep

Good luck with your selection.
