Default What color calipers?

Going with the caliper covers from RPI. Cant decide, black or red? I'm thinking black, just because the only thing red anywhere on my car is the LCAs. Black wont pop out as much but will still clean it up and look smooth behind the chrome. Anyone disagree?

I have black covers behind my chrome wheels and they pop out a lot more than I expected so I vote for black!

I vote black.

I had a Tungsten Grey with black stripes and I painted those calipers black. I loved the change it made in the appearance of the car. I don't have pics but it was very nice.

I think it will look great with the color and style of your car as well. Sorry I didn't look at the item, but do they have any writing on them? Maybe put lettering in a silver color or something bright to accent it a little bit.

I guess black would be ok but personally, I think our calipers are nothing to bring attention to because they are not that special. I'd rather have people admire my chrome wheels. Just a thought.

With the look of your car, I would stick with black.

I also got the same theme except mine is silver/black, with my wheels I'm going with red calipers bc black would blend in too much!

Both would look good. Red will stand out more but black will have that subtle look.
