Go with red, the black blends in too much.

Mine is performance white also. I went with red, and can not be happier. No matter what color you decide to go with, PAINT YOUR CALIPERS BLACK!! If you closely look at D'prived's calipers you will see part of the factory caliper in plain view. The fronts especially. If you do not do that simple mod first, the caliper covers look like crap in my opinion. I put mine on first, looked at it and about puked.
