    Black or Silver painted stock calipers look best.

    black goes with anything. red makes you look like the guy who can't afford brembos, so they settled on a can of red paint.

    brembos come in black too you know . i think if you just slap the decals on a lot of people will think that the calipers came from the factory. its happened to me.

    Re: brake caliper question

    For your laser red, I would say either black or dakr silver/grey. Another member did dark grey/silver on his silver s4 and it looked sick.

    reason i say black is because it dosn't look like your trying to fake it, but it keeps the rust away.

    if it were my car those decals would burn off instantly.
