Default POLL: Can't decide on caliper color

Really undecided going the red caliper look (only thing holding me back is that it might be too loud (car is NGP with gun metal rims). I'm thinking it will scream 'look at me' way too much. Perhaps a darker blue? Or should I just leave them alone. Really really indecisive at the moment.

Good poll. I can't answer it, as I'm in the same boat as you. I have no idea what color to choose. I'm interested in seeing the responses.

I don't know how much a dark color will stand out, if at all, on a darker colored car

You could get them wrapped that way if you don't like it you could switch them out with relative ease.

Our cars already scream look at me with its knockout styling. Breaking necks since it came out. Lol

Anyways I'd go with blue thats the color I'll be doing to my silver is350 calipers. But I'll be doing a more brighter blue or something like that.

I did mine red and they stand out real well especially at night. I just need to put the F sport Decal on mine which I will tomorrow.

in MHO I think the red would look nice, but you need to do what suits you best.
im thinking of going yellow on my ultrasonic blue.

I like the idea of the blue. I think against the NGP it wont be too bright. If you were to do red I would try, and match the Brembro red.

Red looks good on greys.
Honestly anything is cool as an offset color.
I'd go yellow or Teal
