Default Looking for opinions please....
I am attempting to sell my red powder-coated calipers and brackets with no luck...I would like some input from board members as to whether or not red calipers would like "alright" on my ride...I have attached some pics for reference. All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks fellas...I was thinking that they would like alright, but I didn't know with the blue Firehawk emblems, whether or not it would clash....

I'd say go with the red calipers, and maybe look for some red or black Firehawk emblems, that would look killer!
