Your calipers look great; I painted a friends the same combination. Definitely sticks out!

Also I like the silver portion of the aspec. Gives a good contrast to the ABP and makes it a little more unique. Good work!

I really really like how you color matched that part of the Aspec lip to match your grill. Very nice touch.

As mentioned above, I really love the idea of the grill-matched A-Spec accent trim. Adds character considering you don't have the rest of the kit. Not a fan of the fake calipers, but no shame in it, since it's your car, not mine. Drilled/Slotted rotors are awesome, just wish they stood out more on stock rims.

Maybe I'm just biased towards ABP/RBP, but your car looks sick!

^ What if you paint them to silver or gray? I never liked red or like bright color callipers (real or doesn't matter) on our TL. It feels like ricer civic to me.
I like dark blue on them. Or like gray silver black.. something that is not noticable like crazy.
