They do look cool, but IMO, they are highly overated and overpriced. I've heard they offer no braking improvement over the standard calipers. Why not just paint your calipers red? I also have an Arctic White car and I painted my calipers black. I like the look and saved myself $400.

A little splash of color in the wheel area looks great on the C5. Congrats on the mod.
