Default Black or Red Calipers?

well i just got my new brakes from brakemotive (awesome deal and great service) and im painting the hats black but im trying to decide on what color calipers. my car is satin black and the wheels are either gonna be the black Ruff 278's i have on there already or a set or Fikse FM10's with the centers PC'd black. but i have a red trans am decal across the front air dam and im about to have a lit up front plate (also red) my interior leds are red also (if you havent noticed there is a red and black theme going haha)
but should i do red calipers with a black trans am sticker or black calipers with a red trans am sticker?

My WS6 is black, and mine are red with black letters. Looks good, but I think black would be nice too.

What about black with silver lettering? I am planning on doing that for my calipers once I get the brakemotive brakes in.

i voted red because you have a black car, black wheels and a black caliper will just make it all run together! so bring the red in and break it up a little

I'm liking the red with black. I'm doing the total opposite since mine is red I'm doing black with red.

BLACK got my vote. Painted red factory calipers looks tacky IMHO Now if you have some CTSV or big aftermarket calipers go with what ever color you want

Again just my opinion. My calipers will be matte black

I powdercoated the caliper bracket silver and did the caliper black with silver letters. It looks great because the bracket makes the caliper stand out even though its black. Would recommend it highly to anyone because I was skeptical before they were finished. it looks clean without being stock looking.
