Default My New Caliper Color? (Pictures)

I am getting new calipers on the front. I painted the calipers in the first picture a couple days after I got the car. Should I paint them red again or paint them black to go with my black theme? If you vote for a different color, please specify..... but really I am either going to go with red or black. This is just a quick photochop. Thanks!

Red:


Black:


Don't mind the turn markers, they are black now. Just an old picture and I forgot to GIMP them out on the first picture.

Also, don't mind the wheels. I know you hate them. And I don't really care. Just help me pick out a new caliper color please. Thanks again!

I just can't get over how ghetto those rims are. They are blinding my ability to make an honest vote.

You should do red calipers with black brackets. That would look much better. There is too much red right now.

are those 18's? i would look into kore3 for their bolt on brackets and upgrade to c5 z06 calipers. do those babies red. the rotor and caliper would fill out behind the wheel much nicer. i think from the dealer they come red too, probably a more durable finish too. just my opinion.

I say red. Also, do the centers on the rotors in black. Like where lugs are.
