Default caliper color

I just ordered new slotted/drilled rotors and ceramic pads and figured I might as well paint the calipers while I'm at it. I'm ordering the g2 caliper paint kit and am leaning towards black, silver, or possibly red. What do guys/gals think? Here's a pic for reference:

Go with either black or silver.
Red is cliche on "sporty" cars.

The G2 kit is an excellent choice. If you want your car to look stealth I'd go with black, if you want your calipers to stand out, go with red.

That's what I was thinking, except their monte decal is cursive script instead of block lettering. I've seen the block lettered ones, but don't remember where. I think maybe silver with black lettering might look good too.

Ah... we've got a comedian on the forums. No, seriously, I ruled out red a while back but for some reason I am still considering it now that I'm getting ready to order the paint. Strange.
