Default Caliper color opinions

My car is a black 01 convertible with the stock wheels. I'm installing Cobra brakes on the front. I have them all apart and will be painting them in the next week. My initial thoughts are RED calipers with the word COBRA in BLACK.

Below are some other color ideas. I'm just looking for opinions on what color would look best. Thx

The Silver and black with black lettering looks most appetizing to me.

What kind of wheels will you be running in the future? That has a big impact on my opinion.

I'm on mobile so idk what color your car is but it could look good whatever color the car with black lettering. But it's always classic to run red with white or black lettering

If you have them apart and off, I would have them powder coated instead of painting. Red always looks good with black jmo.
