IMO, black brackets with chrome caliper would look nice behind the chrome wheels as the red doesnt have anything to match with on the car. Plus everyone and their mom has red calipers but I guess the Porsche/Ferrari look is what everyone wants on their muscle car these days.

Red is lame imo, I'm doing mine silver caliper w/ black brackets. I guess do red if you have red assets for example a black SS with the red background on the emblems.
