Default Black Gt... Red caliper paint?

Anyone have pics... some guy was second guessing me putting red on calipers instead of black with my Black 06Gt.
My interior is red...
How would this look? pics anyone?
thanks.

P.S. They are using the Duplicolor Spray not mix.
Instructions say can take up to a week to completely cure so try to stay off the car for a week.
Should I really not drive my car much for a week?

I have painted my calipers red and i have the red interior. Black would not stand out at all and would look dumb, definitely go with the red. I let mine cure for about 24 hours, thats what the instructions said and its fine.

Yeah, I'm black on red also and I'm going to be going with the red calipers. It should look sharp.
