Paint it black. It came silver, so it doesn't look much different.
This is stock silver

looks like black it is...you guys think even though my car is silver gray and the wheels are silver the caliper would look good black? i was thinking the silver would flow better. i know stock they come silver but it isnt a glossy finish so i was thinking the glossy silver would stand out a bit more.

I painted mine silver, I think that looks close to OEM and my car is silvergray so they kind of match. My son wanted red, I just couldn't do it... I'm not big on trying to make standard factory brakes look like a fake BBK.
