Default Which color calipers???

I'm getting ready to install some slotted/cross-drilled rotors and want to paint my calipers. The car is bright red with yellow firehawk decals. Should I paint the calipers red or yellow? Or both? Anyone with pics, please reply. Thanks for all the input.

I didn't think of that one.....red with the yellow decals. I think I'll go that route. And sorry, but no sound clips yet. I need to get off my butt and do that. It does sound good. It is most often likened to a NASCAR sound by people who stop me to compliment it.......and the one who stopped me to complain !!

Red with yellow decals...that way you keep the same theme for the car.

BWAHAHA I am the smartest man alive. But seriously i hate the yellow calipers that I have seen on cars with your color combo, it just makes me want a happy meal. With a firehawk you want people to notice the car more than the calipers. Red just kinda taps you on the shouldre and says "hey, im a subtle tasteful detail" and yellow kicks you in the ***** and SCREAMS "LOOK AT ME BITCH!IM BRIGHT AND TACKY!!!!!!!!!!!"

I think red without the yellow letters would look best.
