cobras come with the front calipers painted red, it looks great. just go to the store, get some caliper paint, take of your wheels, unbolt the calipers, and paint them.

There is this brand new Dodge Viper (04 or 05) by me all black with red calipers it looks sweet. I think it looks good if it helps accent something on your car. For example I want to get a white 98 Cobra with blue or red racing stripes running down the middle and blue or red calipers to accent them. Its all about doing things with taste.

Think it's pretty ricey myself, but happen to notice at Advance Auto the other day they sold high temperature paint for painting calipers. Had it near the checkout line. I remember seeing fishing lure chartruse(sp?) and lime green. They had several colors, I'm sure red was one of them. It's a whole kit didn't look too difficult.

Unbolt the "calipers" and use a brite color of your choice high temp engine paint from the local auto parts. Be sure to clean it really good before hand or you'll be doing it again real soon. You could do it with a paintbrush by spraying the engine paint into the cap and brushing it on and only painting the part that shows withought removing the "calipers". Kinda Ghetto that way though.
