John - both look good. BLACK is more reserved but very nice....RED says "Hey, Look at Me"...final choice depends on your personality

Here is another pic of my rears...

Don't know what might be available. But have seen some painted that to me looked great. Not quite so "hey look at me" as red. But noticeable and nice. Black car, electric blue with silver letters on the calipers.

red man. You will not be dissapointed. You will look at people looking at the well sized red calipers as well, and black I think won't be too noticeable.

I went with silver on mine, but only because red wouldn't look too good with the purple.
