I don't think you can go wrong with either on your car, but I do think black would match better.

Red looks nice, but with your (amazingly sexy, btw) glass roof and all of the black details you've added to the car, I think black works better with your setup.

I agree with VistaBlue, black would look nicer on your car with your options... and definitely paint them! Covers look cheap.

The only reason to draw attention to the brake calipers IMO would be if you were running huge upgraded brakes with a nice set of aftermarket wheels. I cringe when I see a car with huge 20" wheels and the stock calipers painted red... lulz.

Thanks for all the pictures and opinions.

I've decided to just leave them stock. I can't really justify the cost of the covers and I don't feel like touching up on caliper paint annually.

That's the conclusion I came to long ago.
