Default Red or Black Caliper Color on my Car?
Hey guys and gals. Just getting an idea on what others think about which color to get my calipers in with the C5 conversion:

http://www.umiperformance.com/produc...item_id=212021

You can get red or black as most of you know.

I just finished my black on blue color appearance theme (and black chrome wheels) so I was going to go with the black calipers, but red calipers would stand out and yell "look at this ****! (lol). But it might draw too much attention to the eye?

Here is a not so good pic of my car now, I need to get better ones. It has been updated since these pics, and lowered.







Vote away!

Oh ok, shoot, I should have thought of that.

Well, if a mod sees this, and would like to move it to appearance, please do so! Thank you.

I think the same color blue would look rather good if you were willing to paint them. Not to difficult if there off the car.

Matching blue would look good, but since the choice is balck or red I'll say black. It'll make the calipers vanish.

Doing a c5 conversion, black is gonna be hiding, i wanted mine to stand out. You can always repaint them if you don't like em

BTW LOVE the car, that color is badass!
