I went black with my stock calipers, but I was considering silver as well.

Could you imagine if the glue came off due to heat or whatever and caused the brakes to bind in an emergency stop. Some people will do whatever (even sacrifice safety) to try and look cool.

If you've painted the black plastic lower panels EM to match the car, go with EM calipers.

If not, and you have the 6-spoke wheels, go silver.

If not and you have the 5-spoke sport wheels, go black or red.

Red's not so bad, just see how the body and tail lights harmonize.

Dang, I thought I had it figured out and then YOU come along. Not sure I follow your logic, but it makes sense when I picture the different options. As bolded above, no painted lowers, sport wheels. Red's too much flash for stock cali's, so black it is. I think the 5-spokes are a little too open to add more silver flashing between the spokes.

Thanks, fellas, never thought I'd get so much input on such a seemingly small detail. I guess we all care about the details.

Look at G2, they seem to have the most caliper colors.
