Good luck and happy modding!
I was debating black or red calipers. Nothing crazy, like neon green! As far as clear eyes, do you think they make that big of a difference? Maybe it's just different tastes, but I think the amber gives it some nice contrast, with the grille and headlights being silver/chrome.

I vote no on red calipers, you want to hide the stock calipers not make them more visible. There are pics on here from people who did res and it looks very cheesy. Black will clean them up and make them less visible. Or you could just clean the ones you have really good and maybe do a coat of the factory color.

Clear corners are a personal preference, there are pics here of OB coupes with clears or smoked too. I feel like its the smallest mod that can actually change the look of the car.

Congrats and Welcome.

i would not paint the brake calipers... unless you paint them black or silver. No need to bring attention to stock brakes

Like some Brembo's? I've heard good reviews on them, but they may be a little pricey for what I'm looking for. What are some other good brands, that are a bit cheaper.

Yes, I'm thinking red may be a bad idea. Black, on the other hand, may not be a bad solution. I will give it some thought before I dive into a project like this.
