I like the middle haha, just regular clean aluminum calipers. Either that or black. Then again, I did the exact same gold on my stock calipers and it looked decent. I dunno, just ditch the red lettering, if you really want the lettering to be in a different colour, do it in black. Black on gold will look sick. ---
