Not a fan at all of painted OEM calipers. Why would you want to highlight the puny stock calipers? It looks rather weak behind those nice wheels. A more subtle black or silver color would have been a better choice. Just my opinion.

Agreed on all accounts. Why draw attention to the tiny, not to mention ugly, stock calipers? Just makes me disappointed when I see red brakes on the road and they turn out to be stockers when I look more closely.

Stock calipers painted red, or any color except black or silver, FTL. Wheels look good though.

aggreed,oem calipers are not something you want ppl to focus on..they steal attention away from your wheels imo

If anything, black is the only color you can get away with on the OEM calipers. Like others have mentioned, I wouldn't want to draw attention to the OEM calipers.
