ORIGINAL: Rezalien

I'd go red...just my .02

you'll get a TON of looks with the red calipers

...plus it adds close to 15 rwhp




EXACTLY I totally agree on this one just like my stripes they added 25 hp's now i have no problems beating the caymens and stuff... im gonna paint my calipers red on my next dealer service... and that will be ading 15 hp which will be 40 hp... the 40 hp will be great for less than 100 bucks hehe wish exterior couldve add power though....then those civics will be surely flyin hahaha

The factory bright silver is "awful". I masked mine off the day I brought the car home and sprayed with VHT 1500 degree "cast iron" gray. So now they don't stand out at all and look like higher quality if you do actually check them out; and they definitely don't look painted nor do they distract from the look of any rim. JMO

Not red, if you want red buy the Brembo's. Like someone said before it looks like a Porsch, save that for the Civics.

Black wouldn't be bad.

IMO, leave em be.
