Red would look like $hit on a redfire. It would clash and look terrible. Black FTW.

I think red on red would look good, but black would also. Mine just got painted red and with my black cobra rims they pop real nice.

Good idea. Post some pics up after doing it. I want to paint mine black, or just upgrade my fronts to Mach 1's.

I used orange engine paint to paint the plugs whn I took my spoiler off and it matches my paint pretty darn close...thinking of using it on my calipers. What ya'll think?

If your looking at getting black rims in the furture paint them red. If not black would have a nice touch to its aesthetics. Use the Dupli-Colour Caliper kit. It used it on my 02 GT and the finish was amazing.

Id say black if you had a RED script letterings/pony. Otherwise paint them Red or it's not going to Pop out at you. (aka contrast) If they are only black they will be lost inside the wheel.
