I have been debating the painting of my calipers with a G2 kit of RED caliper paint I have had in my living room for the past 2 months now. I just can't decide whether or not I should do it. Here is a picture of the car in it's current state:

Yes or No? If no, why?

I voted to paint them a different color, like black to avoid the kind "Brembo" look!
Or perhaps encrusted with rhinestones to REALLY set your car apart???
Good Luck with your decision and post pix when you are done!

IMO not sure what these cost but they don't look like they will add a ton of performance over the OEM. I like the painted look but if they are going to stand out you should also consider going bigger!
