Calipers

I'm thinking of painting the calipers on my Nighthawk Black Pearl Fit. All my lighting inside is Blue so I was thinking of blue but the wife says painting them red would be HOT!!

What say 'yous'??

If you have a pic to back it up that would be good too!!

Thanks.

EDIT:
Sorry, forgot to mention that I have black wheels on my FIT...

I was going to do red but now i changed my mind...im going to go gold! =]

Edit: sorry bob i forgot 2 answer ur question lol. If ur gonna keep the wheels and calipers clean, i'd say go red cuz it'll look really nice behind a black wheel on a black car. If ur gonna keep ur car dirty or don't wash it that often, the red might look burgandy after a while so i'd go with black. I wash my car at least once a week so that's why im going gold lol.

red would be my first choice, but gold is also nice to consider.

not my thing i guess. red is so played out ...kinda like apc wings on civics.
gold would be nice i guess. i dont know anything but stock color or black is not my thing. unless i had 4 wheel disc brakes maybe then...but i doubt it.

Yeah, but I really wasn't trying to 'hide' it and it's only noticeable if you look at it.

Yeah, I've made a whole two payments on the car and it should be 'decked-out' already??

And if Smatts wants to donate some springs and wrench time I'll look him up as soon as I get back from Iraq!

Peace out!
