Go with blue they will really stand out. Just my 2 cents.

I'd go with the blue as well. However, I've seen anodized red (like the P5 emblem) which looked pretty cool as well.

Later,

Scott.

Red...

I did mine red - like scottMP5 said, P5 emblem matches. Also, nice continuity with red taillights (if stock).

Thanks everyone for the replys. I'll go with the blue color!. the Child seat is a black and blue Eddy Bower, and i'll put 2 seats cover (they are black and blue), so i'll go with BLUE !

I'd go for black/gloss black. Fitting for a stock caliper and looks quite good.

A red caliper, IMHO, indicates a Brembo. Why imitate the real thing? Remember, the stock brakes, while decent, are still rather low end single piston calipers. I'd rather not advertise the fact.


To each his own I guess.

Heres a different idea. Take the calipers and brackets off and polish them to a high quality finish. Than throw on some clear coat to keep them nice and shiney. Lots of work but I saw it once and it looked real nice.
