Default Need opinions on caliper color for UBM F

Just picked up my UBM IS-F a few days ago and the first thing I wanna do to the car is show off the amazing brakes a little more. IMO the black does not do any justice to them. Will likely use the G2 paint as I've used it in the past with great results. Considering red, gold, and possibly doing their custom option and body matching it to the car. What do you all think pops on this color?

Yeah they are the Brembo GT series brakes on his car but still I think yellow would look good on the factory calipers. The Brembo GT series can be ordered in Black, Red, Yellow, Silver, and I believe Gold.

Yellow looks good. Matching blue is only ok imo.

I had a 2005 Subaru WRX STI and I got it custom painted to BMW Interlagos Blue Mice and I thought it looked sick with the stock gold Brembo calipers. So I vote gold lol

Good idea of blue on gold. Red is really hot too... This is a tough decision!

With the insane brake dusts from stock brake pads, stock black is a best choice
