Red looks good on most colors. Everyone that paints calipers on any car go red though.

I did Z06 brakes on my Crystal Red car and did not want the red since it is two different colors. Mine are a flat black with a layer of clear over them so they don't really stand out.

Lowering and adding a splitter may cause it to scrape more often...could get expensive.

Ya I know. And a lot of the parking lots here are raised so i am gonna have to hit it super slow.
I definitely need to lower the rear some, way to much space back there imo.

I really want a splitter though I love the look of them.

How about black? Neutral color, not too showy and looks good on any color car.

Thanks, I guess I would rather be a poseur with this, than with any other car. I have been thinking lately of selling it and buying an Aston Martin though.... But.... I think I should keep it, just to save someone else being called a poseur. they may not be as thick skinned.

Red!
You might want to consider silver to go with your stripe?
Many GS vettes have silver calipers from the factory!
