There's nothing wrong with painted calipers if you have a BBK and 14" rotors. What does look bad is calipers painted some ungodly color with the OE setup. The focus should be on the wheels, by painting the calipers silver or black they'll disappear. It's also a good idea to remove rust from your rotors with sandpaper or steelwool and paint them black so the rust won't show. How many pic have we seen here on Driver of a nice set of wheels only to see that rust ring in the background....

I like it, going for that transparent look.
