Only those 2 choices? Yellow would be awful
So if just those 2 colors, red is my vote.

With all the colors available, why only yellow or red in the poll?

DEFINITELY NOT Red. Red looks good, yes. But, "everyone's" got red.

I agree with the ZR1 Blue with your silver finish. That's very classy. Of course, I am partial to the yellow - have you seen the silver 911 with yellow calipers ? Looks fantastic ! I've seen a few Ferrari pics in silver and yellow as well. Looks really nice.......

Good luck !

IMHO nothing looks better than red no matter what color the car is.

Red is a run away. I wish I had added blue to the poll though.

What other colors have some of you used on your calipers?
