RE: what color calipers on a vista blue?
i've had red on mine for a while and i liked it quite a lot; however, i just bought the vista blue caliper kit from bill^ at hubcapsplus. i really like the idea of my calipers matching my car's paint exactly. and the bottom line: it's just paint - if you don't like one color, repaint it

You guys can hate me later 
. I don't see the point of painting the factory calipers(very ricey IMO). Why? Well, the factory calipers are very porous when casted and don't lend themselves kindlyto painting unless one has them sanded to a smooth finish prior to painting.
(compare a factory GT caliper to a GT500's Brembo unit next time at the dealership and you'll see what I mean) The quality of all the painted(by owner)factory calipers I've seen for the past 15 years leaves a lot to be desired(not because of faulty painting, but because of the paint not adhering as it would to a perfectly smooth surface). I'd just leave well enough alone. Sorry, but that's my opinion
