IMO Red Calipers and maybe some nice rotors with black rims on a black car will enhance the cars overall look, especially at night unless you want to totally look like your driving on 4 holes because you can't see anything or any details... Just my .02
I know...

Imagine if everything were black on a black car...

Since I drive a Black car I'd do silver but I agree with Chern, don't do to much of 1 color it will really kill the look and take away from the car cause their is nothing to break up anything.
Thinking of Black cars with the color calipers they have, red, smoke, silver, but on a black car, black calipers if the car is not black but only if you don't have black rims

Stillen Install Instruction:
Recommendation, if you don't like the direction change it, my last set of drilled/slotted rotors worked great for over 2 years in the same direction, I only changed them because of the great deal on Rotopros with the painted centers.
