I would say black because the shape of the calipers are ugly. They aren't smooth looking. I think it's better just to hide them w/black paint if you can.

Go with black. Our calipers aren't good looking like mentioned above, so its best to hide them.

I can show you what the red will look like
This is what I did BEFORE I got my calipers powdercoated.



Look at the other photos on my picture folder account.

Unless you're getting a brake kit, I would go black. They are small and crappy to begin with. Don't emphasize them. Just my .
