Akebono BBK What Color on Red V35 Coupe?

What colour should I get for my Akebono BBK, my car is a Laser Red G35 Coupe 2005. I currently have Kuruma Z front, Impul sides, and Chargespeed rear. The car is sitting on Forgestar F14s in gunmetal.

I don't have the F14s or the rear bumper yet. Waiting for them to be shipped.

Stock silver with black text. Unless you have other black accents on your car the black calipers are going to look kinda off. If you have a black/red theme going (doubtful with gunmetal wheels) then black calipers are fine I guess.

Black roof, the black on the Chargespeed, 20% tint all around that's about it. I was going to get black wheels but I think glossy black is too hard to keep looking nice.

I like that idea a lot, but with some sort of subtle pearl or metal flake in the silver to make them really stand out.

Trust me I completely understand that.

But yea what Blue said. Colored calipers are kinda hard against a Red. Their complimentary (contrasting) colors are your blue/green combos which are a no go for the calipers imo.

The key to your question is if you have high end aftermarket wheels where do you want the focus made, on your brakes or wheels? If you have great looking wheels go with black calipers/silver lettering to compliment both....

I'm going it done by Concept Z Performance. I'll ask if I can get silver lettering on a black caliper. Do you think that would look better than white lettering?
