Default What color should my calipers be??

I know on the scale of 1 to 10 this is a 2. But, what color should I paint my calipers? My GT is black with gold shelby stripes and emblems. I will be getting in some chrome bullits soon. Most say paint them gold. I don't know......maybe black. Everyone tells me red is totally out.

Let me hear from you.
Thanks

Purple with pink polka dots is this year's red.

I like Red. I guess I'm not everybody.. Still cool in my old book, but I'm a little older..

+1 Red. I don't know who "they" are. They say a lot of things that go un-accounted for. Has anyone ever seen them? Do "they" really exist or are "they" a rumor? Seriously though, if not red stick with black or gold. If you paint it gold, I would try hard to match the stripe color. -Joe

It doesn't matter what color you paint them as long as you smooth them out first.

Same color as your stripe would be the way to go i think.

Ummmmm. I'm with black. I think they are better hidden away rather then blinged out. Especially with a Shelby clone like yours. BTW, I am almost sorry I got Tungsten after seeing your car. Love that combo. Oh, and yours is the only one that has made me think twice!
Gorgeous!!

Put some pictures of that car up will you? I always wanted to know what that would look like black and gold stripes.
