Personally I think red is over done If I were you I would go black with trans am brake caliper decals I'm doing the same to my Z when I get some decent wheels.

Red if you have wheels, if not it looks gay. I just bought Enkei Win wheels and I thinking of going red on mine. Wheels are being shipped as we speak and I will post pics with my new wheels and possibly red calipers.

Most think its overdone but I've always liked it and wanted to do it once I got wheels.

Thanks for the advice all. I cut out peices of a Coke 12 pack, and taped them on the Calipers, to see what red would look like...I like it.

Thats a picture of the car a year ago, It is lowered now with tint, and clear corners. Still has the stock 17"s on it, but Fikse's in a couple months.

I have red calipers with brushed aluminum decals on my Black Camaro. I think red gives it a little more of a custom look. Black would look more stock than anything...Although, with decals it may make the fronts stand out a little more...

Polished would definitely be cool, but I think it would be way more work than I would like to do...
