Default PIC Request: Red Inserts on Silver

Just as the title states, does anyone have any pictures of RED rear bumper inserts on a SILVER C5? Both up close and a short distance away?

Just trying to decide if its too loud of a contrast color to silver. It will also determine if I powdercoat the "corvette" on my calipers red or black. Calipers will be body matched silver. Thanks in advance!

I've seen them done both ways.. red inserts, and SS inserts...I like the SS better, that's what I did.. As for the calipers, i painted the calipers red and did the letters in silver.. IMO the contrast to the car being Silver is awesome... Just a thought.. or my 3 cents!! I have pics of mine if you want to check it out..

I'm leaning towards the SS ones now, or the recently advertised carbon fiber vinyl (goes with my color scheme). I'm still painting the calipers silver, I saw one before and it looked amazing. Too many people do red calipers, I want something a little different.
