I think that's a very bold idea but I think it would look best as a theme. If you were to go with clear corners or smoked corners that alone would throw off the yellow calipers. Also the finish of the wheels will have a big impact on how your car looks with yellow calipers. I'd say work it out a little more. Maybe some blue SS bades with a yellow outline, blue front grille, yellow calipers with blue lettering, etc. Stay away from things like yellow window tint and a big yellow grille. Just subtle differences will be good.
I have seen yellow wheels on impalas and corvettes that look good with the theme of the car, so think it through before you do anything. If anything the yellow calipers would just have to be repainted if you don't like them.

I know, but you said you wanted pics of bright *** yellow calipers so.....badda bing! haha
What really goes well with NBM when doing calipers is a nice Red. Has that ZO6 kinda look to them.

Both bad ideas... I don't see bright yellow or red going with NBM at all... Makes me want to throw up. I just painted mine black. Very simple and they will go well with my Grand Sport style black w/ polished lip ZR-1s at the end of April.

I wouldn't want to take the time to polish and I don't want to imagine the work to keep them clean... no thanks. Another reason I went with black is because I don't need to worry about dirt.

I thought about doing yellow when I did my calipers (also thought about doing polished, but that's too much upkeep for me (ironic, since I'm one of "those porter cable guys")). The reason I didn't was because there's nothing else yellow on the car. My suspension parts are black (except the panhard bar, which is polished), my lugnuts are black, and I'm planning to get a black billet grille. Having black calipers made more sense than yellow.

I would say no to the yellow with blue. I have a hard time straying to far from the stock look. Black brackets with aluminum colored or Silver calipers would look the best IMO.

Thanks for all opinions everybody they were all greatly appreciated. I ended up going with black Zr-1 rims with silver lip and did the calipers silver!!! lets see how long till they need re-done..
