Should I paint my rear calipers?
I will be installing the Rotora front brake kit w/ red calipers. I also got a set of rear/slotted rotors. Do you think it will look right if I paint the stock calipers red? I was thinking either red or black....as you can see from my sig, I have a white GS.
Thanks for your opinions.

Looks a bit weird if you notice it but since it is black, it is not too bad. So obviously my input would be to match them up.

Thanks everyone! I will paint them red! =)
Neo: Are you still planning to go with the StopTech? Reason, I'm not getting those is caliper clearance issue. Even with the Rotoras I will still need a 5 mm spacer. With the StopTech, I am pretty sure I would have had to go w/ 15 mm.
In any case, will get pics up once my new digi cam arrives from Dell!

Actually, I measured using Rotora's template and the caliper was scraping barely. I later aligned Rotora's template with StopTech and the StopTech was larger, that's where I came up with my assumption.
