Caliper Colouring

Hi All,

I have a stock 2006 CV 300C. I have been toying with the idea of painting the calipers but have absolutely no creativity. There are no other mods and I don't want to pimp it but I had a '92 T-Bird SC that I lowered (only 2") and did the calipers and it was understated cool. Does anyone have any ideas for colour or other subtle mods that would distinguish the car from the masses but not make me look silly (I'm 38 yrs old).

Thanks in advance.

I am going to do mine in red. I think red or blue would look good on your car. I bought a kit to do mine.

I plan on painting my calipers and I have absolutely no ambition to change my stock Chrome Clad 17's I personally think they perfectly compliment my car.
