I liked gold a lot but feared I would be ambushed by the Brembo folks. But in the end, who cares what anyone else thinks. Its your car and do what you please. Just enjoy the ride...

I got both through suvlights.com
6000K were like $280 shipped (i think)
5000K H4 were like $50 shipped
I'm happy with the 6000K but not so thrilled with the Diamond Vision. Of course its tough to match a H4 bulb with Xenon

On the Speed Channel, the Truck Universe show had a segment with Dupli-Color Caliper Brake Kits in Red, Black, Yellow and Silver. They're available at Auto Zone (and others) for around $20.

One of the first things i did to my DG Coupe was paint the calipers red. A buddy of mine owns an autobody shop and he just gave me some extra paint and i bought some small painters brushes and a steel brush. It took me about 1 hour. I didnt even take off the wheels, just sat there, lights scratched the caliper up, then painted the caliper as far as you can see. Looks great, everyone compliments them. I have chosen red as the accent color for this car.
Hope this helps.

Hey man, I like your attitude. Good stuff. Gotta love DG

I personally love the look of the red calipers and am glad I did it. Again, is it a brembo or is it powdercoated?...no. But, I like it and thats all I really care about. I posted it to let others know what it looks like if they want to do it. I tried to find pics prior to me doing it but had trouble. So, take it for what its worth.

I like the calipers - and I was a little worried about painting mine due to the size (compared to brembos). But looking at your pics has probably made this something I will do. Now I just wonder what would look best with IP?
