I would have preferred the Orange caliper but all the White ones I looked at and wanted did not have it. I ended up settling for the black calipers.

I would have preferred the black (or red), but I couldn't find a white one without them when I was shopping.

It would have been nice to have it available in red from the factory

Depends on what color RCF you have. Orange calipers on an orange or red car doesnt look right. On rest of colors are fine

red is too generic. Most civics has them. Green, blue, orange to stand out from crowd

a lambo can get away with pink brake calipers.
a blue caliper would look much better with an orange car. Different color contrast that doesn't take away from the flashy orange paint

I have a MM ISF with RCF wheels. I wanted the calipers to pop but not be too flashy. I painted them MM with a bit more flake. I like the look. orange or red would be too much for me.

I think they're cool, just wouldn't work too well with my red interior.

I like color matching my calipers to the paint so I agree with ISFPower Orange/Orange works. But that's just my two cents. I went the white caliper route, couldn't be happier...for now.

With the exception of lime, pink!, and purple, most colors to me work on a hot car with nice calipers, but I must say how impressed I am with RYLITT's combo. White on white is stunningly polished and exotic looking!
