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.

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.
