, The black ones you can's really tell but if u don't want anything to flashy i would go for that. Now the red ones do look sweet 
. 
which of these look better
which of these look better I'm thinking of doing some minor appearance things to make my ride stand out. It's a 98 Formula with the color NBM
I made two mockups of what I'm thinking in photoshop, please excuse my horrible photoshop skills though lol
red formula overlay with red calipers
white formula overlay with black calipers, keep in mind my bird logo on the front bumper is already white, would sorta match it
what do you guys think

I would do red calipers on NBM because I've never liked how black and blue go together. As for the formula overlay, i'd do silver to match the wheels so that the calipers stand out by themselves.
just my $.02

I would say the white for sure on the letters. You could go either way on the calipers. You know what might look sweet is if you polished the calipers. I heard of it being done a few times. That and the white would look good.

Red calipers and white overlays would clash hardcore. I like the white overlays but if the calipers were white they would dirty up real fast and look cheap IMO so it's not as simple to say "oh just paint the calipers white too" NBM seems to be a harder color to match to...out of the 2 pics I like the white/black combo though.

I say go to white letters and white calipers, or even actually go silver letters, and silver calipers...silver on dark colors looks sweet...chrome letters and polished calipers would look really nice too....just don't go red. 
I think NBM Formulas look great the way they are. There is nothing wrong with body-colored emblems. Just imagine, if these cars came with black emblems everyone would be painting them body color. Different isn't always better.
Charcoal gray emblems and calipers, if you have to. Silver calipers also would look nice, kind of like the CTS-V setup. I wouldn't do red on a blue car.
