Everybody has red calipers. Do you want the car to stand out and get noticed? Or have that subtle sexiness?

i plan on doing mine red when i do the LS1 conversion. my car is purple. on a black car go red for a good impack and nisce contrast. or go black if you like to stay subtle.

IMO red only looks good if its a red car or if they are performance calipers that came powder coated red.

do black.
