Red is too common, and IMO is too many colors on the car - same with yellow. The boys from TG are spot on about this kind of setup on the GT3. FF to 3:30 for their take, or watch the whole thing for the lolz.

I'd do body color with white lettering, or white like your stripes with body color lettering.

I was thinking the same as C6ROLLER except the opposite, Blue with silver letters. I really think it looks great the way it is tho.

I was undecided about a caliper color on my '07 LMB vert, so I have left them alone for now. I have never seen a photo of LMB calipers - anyone have a photo?

I think your car looks great, but if you want to do the calipers:
Coordinate a thin red stripe around the silver center stripe with red calipers.
Power coat them the same red with silver lettering.
That will tie in the body to the wheels with two colors.
Mike the powdercoater does a good job.
