Default Caliper Paint options

I'm looking at doing my calipers with Camaro decals on the fronts. My car "theme" is black and silver, so I'm not looking to do red calipers. I think my options are black with chrome decals or silver with black decals. What does everyone think will look better? Also, does anyone have pictures of the second setup? I've seen plenty of black calipers with chrome letters, but not the other way. Thanks.

do you have pics? my car is black with silver stripes, though the stripes look horrible (vinyle is cracked and faded) so they'll be coming off. i'm still debating what to put in their place.
