I know it doesn't match, that's the point. It wouldn't POP if it was the same color

Agree 100%....

Silver is classic and clean.....will help that decal stand out too

ZR1 blue "clashes" with NBM.

I agree. I say the jet stream blue as well. Silver looks too much like a stock color caliper, in my opinon.
Post up pics when you have them done.

Black or dark blue would be cool. The ZR1 blue sweet but just doesn't match?

wrong. All LS1 calipers on 4th gens were manufactured by PBR. Their casting logo is even on the back side/top of the caliper. Same with C5 calipers. The non 2 piston, floating calipers (meaning 6 pistons suchs as CTSV and Z06 are Brembo, I'm quite sure).
