why not just silver? theyre not performance brakes after all, and the rims are too small to really do anything to show off the brakes...
imo just a nice silver to match the car

I like the blue, had the same thought actually. Gonna paint mine when I get the time, and would do it blue to be a bit different.

I did Red, I think it looks good, though some other people, and even at first myself, thought it didnt match my car, as mine is gold Verada and some think it looks a bit weird as it doesnt suit the classy look.
I would think blue would be nice too, but from that pic I dont like the blue at all, its way to bright/fluoro looking, if you can get a nice darkish deep blue I reckon that would look awesome. Silver looks a bit better than stock, more just a clean stock caliper, and looks a bit borign and unoticeable I reckon.
I would go black over silver, at least it stands out a bit more and contrasts with the wheel and disk.

that red and blue look tacky imo. I'd go silver.

Gold rotors / Red calipers look wicked.
Think it was JELLMAG who did A blue base coat on his rotors and calipers with a quick spray of silver over the top to give it that metallic look.

I had blue calipers on my TR... they were the double pot ones and filled out the entire space under the 15" wheels, looked very pimp. I'm over the whole painting calipers thing now... Would rather them silver or black.

Black or silver. I personally have mine black to make the wheels stand out more.
