I am bored and was trying to decide wheather or not to paint my calipers...Of course they would be red, I have a base Vibe with the drum brake sin the rear so I was going to ask your opinion on painting the front calipers and maybe the rear drums, or maybe only the front calipers...what do you all think? Would it look weird with just the front calipers painted and nothing on the back?
Depends on your wheels...if they are open enough paint them all bro they will look wicked!Take a sideways pic of your car and have someone do a little photoshop on them...hell that is how I bought my wheels

I've seen a couple cars (Civics) with their rear drums painted, and it looked horrible. Since your looking for opinions, I say don't paint the drums. Definitely do the fronts, though! Fading shouldn't be a problem with the G2 kit.

Fading shouldn't be a problem with the G2 kit. i second that. after looking at some other pics of base rear drums.... i'd say leave them. don't paint them red. or do what devlop suggested, paint the outer rim red only... but definitely use the g2 kit!
