Everyone with a silver car and painted calipers...need opinions

Ok guys I want your opinions on caliper colors for my silver Z. When I put my Z06 rims back on this spring I'm going to completely repaint my calipers. Right now they are charcoal grey with aluminum brackets and camaro caliper decals. They look alright but I don't think they stand out enough. I'm considering red but alot of people say this stands out too much and won't look good. I had red calipers on my previous red Z and it look good as long as your kept them clean. When my Z06 rims are on you can see my red LCA so the calipers won't be the only red item that can be seen from the exterior (red is my accent color for the engine and susension). So what do you think, kept them the way they are or go with red. I'll get new camaro decals either way. Pictures would help a bunch as well as your opinions. Thanks!

I say go red. I think I will be going red when I get my new wheels. IMO, red looks best on silver cars. If I had any other color car I would not go red.

In that case, go with red...

Thanks for the opinions so far. Looks like I'm leaning towards red. Some pictures of a silver car with red caplipers would make the decision easier if anyone has any. Keep the opinions coming. Thanks

Go with Red. I had red trim on my pewter TA. It definitely isn't subtle though...
good luck,
Shane
