black is more sleeperish - pretty cool, eyes aren't instantyl drawn to the bright red...red is more "hey i have disc brakes!" [8D]

I like the red. Can't even really see the other ones.

RE: Which do you like better? RED vs COLOR MATCHED
 
yea.. i mean for a while.. i loved the red.. and then they started chipping.. and i was going to redo them in red again.. but i just decided to to them in a grey like my Alloy color.. and liked it better becuase it didnt stick out so much.. looked more content.. but if you know anyhting.. or can pay attention to detail when lookin at the car, you can notice they are color matched.. not just OE..

i dunno.. i miss red.. but i still think i liek this better

i think the grey looks way sexier and sleeker. the red kinda throws something off about the car, imo. i dunno what it is. maybe i just dont like the alloy/red combo. maybe i just don't like making stock brakesstand out too much.

EDIT: i say go with grey BECAUSE it seems like you have the grayscale theme going on (clear signals, tinted tailights, alloy paint, chrome wheels etc etc). i say keep the grey! ;)

Honestly, I think black would go best with your color.

The red stood out way too much for me and the color matched was like a dirty dark color..couldn't see it but when you could looked like it was dirty..

red belongs on real brake upgrades. do not paint your stock calipers red.
anyone who knows that you still have the stock brakes will just laugh and say "who does he think he's fooling?"

but painting them body color is nice, and generally accepted by all.

The "color matched" is the best by FAR! It lets you take in the whole car instead of being drawn down to the red calis the whole time.

Your car color is really sweet and shouldn't be taken away from by tacky red calipers.

Either gray or black. That red just looks way off compared to other colored stangs....

I like the black. The red seems to stand out way too much with your rims. However, I do think both choices are great.

I think red sticks out too much taking your attention away from other details of the car.

Red looks good. I don't really care if someone says they don't like it. Don't be childish disrespecting other people's choices.

No one is being childish or disrepecting anyones opinion. They are only voicing their own opinion, relax.

+1... why are you guys so proud of the stock brakes that they need to be seen?

might as well get some bootlegged BREMBO stickers as well for the red calipers

Its just a nice color accent, thats all. Not pretending to have anything special.

And the sarcasm continues. :D

RED OR GTFO!!!!!:D

Why do we do this in the first place?
For contrast, that's right. So red will contrast best (or yellow, if you have a yellow car with black rims only)

Oh that is so cute! :D

I should have said that on a red car it looks ok! You just HAD to be an exception to an opinion, didn't ya!;)

I did both. Painted the calipers red and did the hats and veins on the rotors black
