Awesome color! Black, Red, maybe in VSG! Either of those would look good!

You cant ever really go wrong with red, but VSG would be pretty sweet too.

I like the idea of polished or VSG calipers. Red calipers are everywhere even on stock cars now, and with that nice paint you might as well stay away from the norm.
