I'd say red. It's something about it that screams "performance".

red if you have red calipers. otherwise, black. painting the calipers is cheap and easy though.

I like red suspension pieces, but then again, I'm kind of a ricer.

If it was painted black, it would look stock. If that's what you are looking for or want a sleeper car, go for it. I think a dark charcoal would be best for your case. It would give your car more contrast as opposed to boring dull black.

Neither is exhaust, but you still have a CME over a standard setup.

If you happen to go BMR their hammertone is a nice color. I have mismatched brands but made it a point to stay black under there. Red will scream performance and scream dirty if you don't clean under there.
