Default What color are your Calipers?

Currently mine are Black, but Im planning on doing the Brembo-style Gold/Bronze color, which I think on a Black car looks awesome.
However, people are telling me to go with Red, yet it's too common, which is why I want to avoid it.
What are your opinions?

Show us your Calipers!

Mine were painted red when I bought them, i guess they're supposed to match the rest of the car.

Will be doing a full upgrade to the Supra setup at some point, don't think it'll change though.

Mine is brown and rusty, but probably perform the same as nice shiny stock calipers.

^^^Not exactly. When its rusty or dirty, its much more prone to the seal wearing faster than the ones that get cleaned or painted. Believe it or not, but I lift my car up and remove the wheels to clean my brakes and suspension every 6 months. I'm OC in keeping my car clean, I was raised that way.
