Default Color Scheme - What color to paint calipers?

Okay opinions please, on this combination.

I have a black Mustang GT, with a silver stripe with pin-stripes going on. Also I havechrome deep dish bullit rims.

Now...What color should I paint the brake calipers?

Choices:
[ul][*]Black[*]Red[*]Silver[/ul]
All opinions greatly appreciated, please leave an explanation if there is a reason etc.

Right now i'm leaning toward black but think silver may be better. Also was thinking red because I want it to be noticed of what a great job i've done!

I personally don't see the point of drawing attention to stock calipers - but that's just me. It's like all the ricers putting "type R" on their mom's Sentra's

Black will draw attention to your rims and away from the calipers... If prefer that..

I'll probably stick with the black then, I just don't like the stock brushed metal look.
