Green calipers?

Illustrious_Many5628 | 2026-03-04 08:51 | 57 views

Didn’t want red as it’s too generic. Yellow was another option, but didn’t feel right for a car that isn’t technically a sports car.

looks like a tuning accident if everything else is strictly kept black. sorry.

Illustrious_Many5628 2026-03-04 08:59

What else could be changed to match the caliper? How about black calipers?

That’s the second one I’ve seen in 24 hours online with green calipers. The other one has a line along the bottom of the car that was green too. Terrible choice. Although I think the red is terrible too. Red was cool in the 90’s when Brembo was the only one doing it and it was a symbol you had their brake system. Now it’s just done to somehow say “I got performance” even if it’s a V6 Mustang or a Geo Metro.

What makes green a bad colour? Just want to know your reasoning I wanted to avoid red because too common/boring. And yellow didn’t feel right for a Tesla. Green is not everyone’s cup of tea but was probably the safest option for wanting something different. Blue would have been good too

Stop doing caliper covers, they are stupid, traps heat and dirt, looks ugly and fools nobody. They have been frowned upon by the car community for 20+ years until somehow Tesla people made it a thing again.

pinchy74 2026-03-04 09:42

Just personal preference. Sorry, I didn’t intend to sound like a dick (but it sure came across that way). I just really don’t like the look. Orange or blue would have been more in line with what I like. Again, my apologies.

It’s just an opinion man. Tesla nerds aren’t car people so anything other than stock is “tacky”, but will add RGB lighting to their PC. People have been customizing their rides for probably as long as they’ve been available. Do what you want to make it yours. Stock is boring and basic, imo.

SUPER-NIINTENDO 2026-03-04 10:11

Ok, sorry sir. We apologize. Everyone in the world will now stop doing caliper covers because ND30AI doesn’t like them. We apologize. Please let us know what else the people of earth are not allowed to do to their cars. Please be quick before we do some stupid to our vehicles. I don’t want you to hate it.

ND30AE 2026-03-04 10:23

Being pointlessly passive aggressive doesn't change anything lol Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

OptimizeWithAPassion 2026-03-04 10:41

Looks sick very lambo esque, ignore the haters they’re washed up and have no swag

SUPER-NIINTENDO 2026-03-04 10:44

There is nothing you can do or say that will hurt my feelings. You’re nobody

ND30AE 2026-03-04 10:47

I see, so you are fine, you don't need help, so disregard your first comment then I guess.

Clu_Rebooted 2026-03-04 12:14

I’m about to paint mine a teal color…go Jags. Paint is the way to go, caliper covers are not the best idea

Sensitive_Bite_3677 2026-03-04 12:52

Green badges

Its-all-downhill-80 2026-03-04 12:59

Do you like them? If so then it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.

Original-Material301 2026-03-04 12:59

Green reminds me of the Porche hybrids lol

Ok_Recognition_7526 2026-03-04 13:17

I think it’s good that it’s more unique, because the car will be so common depending on where you are. Your less common coloured callipers will be easier to spot for family and friends when you go pick them up, or looking for it in a parking lot.

Ok_Recognition_7526 2026-03-04 13:21

Maybe a thin strip of green tape on the side mirrors. It’s functional - for others to see it more to have less chance of scratching it when squeezing by.

Famous_Ad7312 2026-03-04 13:27

You do you, just don't get upset when you post something and people don't line up with your taste.

Away-Scar7754 2026-03-04 13:48

Nice

Isaac0398 2026-03-04 13:49

It’s so weird how many pursists every single r/“make/model” subreddit this website has. Change one thing from stock other people will have such negative comments about it. Same thing on r/miata people hate of you touch anything on those cars which is crazy for what that car is mostly known for.

Alucardis666 2026-03-04 13:59

Now there's something you don't see every day

bandwidthbandit-1020 2026-03-04 14:13

SEXY

TxTransplant72 2026-03-04 14:21

I put green on my 3. Was going for the Porsche e-hybrid look

the_duck17 2026-03-04 15:15

The "not a sports car" can smoke just about anyone off the line so it's all good 😊

josh_thom 2026-03-04 15:47

Bro said swag smh

fakegoose1 2026-03-04 16:11

Red, yellow, and green are the most common colors I see. (In that order)

makoblade 2026-03-04 17:38

It's just calipers, so while it looks straight bad to me, it's small enough most people won't give two shits. If weird color calipers rock your boat then enjoy.

BarcaLiverpool 2026-03-04 17:41

It looks good dude. As long as you like it, no one else’s opinion matters. Like another person said, Tesla drivers aren’t car people so you’re gonna get a lot of hate. The fact that you gave a great reason to not use yellow says you know what you’re doing and try not to be tacky.

usmon 2026-03-04 19:55

Link to those wheel covers ?

itslogedog 2026-03-04 20:50

ID on the wheel covers?

OptimizeWithAPassion 2026-03-04 21:28

There’s always one dweeb who latches on to stuff like that, still cooler than you. LOL

josh_thom 2026-03-04 21:30

Bro said dweeb smh, pretty sure ur the "washed up dweeb with no swag"

OptimizeWithAPassion 2026-03-04 22:09

I know you are but what am I.. response. Sorry for the flashbacks of elementary schooo

Illustrious_Many5628 2026-03-05 00:10

They’re from Teslaunch. I think all the different suppliers make the same thing anyway, so won’t make a difference where you get it from

Illustrious_Many5628 2026-03-05 00:10

Teslaunch

Ty_go100 2026-03-05 12:01

🔥🔥

ukinnamet 2026-03-06 00:10

Wow that is nice it really stands out I'll do the same thing with mine kinda fake the performance package 😆

Proof_Sheepherder899 2026-03-09 04:51

I think it looks cool. I'm getting dark red covers for my black MY. I'm a car guy and have studied Motor Trend magazines since my teens. I still like to personalize a car, and it doesn't mean I'm trying to pass it as a performance. I just like the way the color looks. If high end sports cars have colored calipers when they don't need it for performance, then it's just aesthetics... just like colored caliper covers. Ignore the haters.
