No sir I dont like it. Brakes are too small to be drawing attention to them. Especially the rear one

It was an easy mod, that's why I did it...plus it's always reversable...but I think I like the look.

at least it's not blue or yellow or something, and if you like it then cool...like you said if you ever change your mind its easy to fix it.

looks good, the contrast of red and black is nice. looks like you did a pretty good job covering them too.

I painted mine black and like it, it hides the small calipers and prevents the caliper from taking away attention from my aftermarket rims

Nice rims xizor!! o, and i like the black calipers as well.

In general, i am not a fan of painted calipers, but i do them bcoz it hides the rust and stains! I like the contrast your rims and the black caliper brings out!! I'm thinking of doing mine black as well or maybe silver

I wanted to paint by calibers as well, but never made the effort to.

BTW, it looks nice, although it looks a bit awkward on the rear side.
