Hey Micah,
How's it going?
I've been hanging out on another forum lately...got an '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.7 a few weeks ago and have been really enjoying it. Still have Red Racer but don't drive it quite like I used to. I'm sure that when summer comes and the top can come off, the Jeep will get more garage time then it does now.
Anyhow, I think you should keep those calipers red for the contrast it provides. Whichever you choose, you'll have a real sharp looking car.
Good luck and show pics when you're done.
Joe

I am a color expert from Bowling Green University, *** Laud 1999, top of my class, and specialized in Corvette colors and shades...You need the red coated calipers to give it that mean black knight look. All superheroes that are cool have more than one color in their pallet.
Think about it...even Batman had a yellow utility belt. I rest my case

Your car will look a LOT meaner if you left the calipers Red but got rid of the polished part of your black wheels and painted the wheels all black including centercaps

Personally, I'd keep them red. A little dash of color is good.
