Go black. Red = wannabe Brembos.
Murdered out? You guys need some better adjectives. Lame term.

No its not. If they had Brembo covers that would be a Brembo wanna be.

Good pics, Jav that should help OP.

Yes. What's Brembo's signature look? Red calipers.
I'm not against painted calipers, I do prefer black or silver. In my city, I see alot of the ricer Civics with red because they're trying to make their stock brakes seem high performance.

I'd say black. Red looks good, but I don't know I'm just a fan of the total, blacked out (murdered) look. Then again... it does add contrast... haha. Either way, you're going to look good.

Yes red brake calipers are for those who want Brembos but can't afford them. Kinda like how fog lights are for those who want to look fast.
