Anyone got pics of P5s with painted calipers???

Hey, I've been thinking of painting my brake calipers on my P5. Its laser blue, but Im unsure what color to paint it. Im sure a bunch of you have already done this so I was wondering if you could post some pics or if you have any suggestions of what might look good with the blue. So far I've thought red but im not sure. Any ideas???

the painted brake clipers was such a simple "do at home job" i loved it (although it took a whole day) they look so awesome i drive a jet black one with red, and its makes such a difference, looks like the brembo's on sti's=)

I feel like I'm having deja vu...here they are again. I couldn't decide on yellow vs. red, so I did both!

I've never really been a fan of McDonald's color scheme.

Don't like ketchup and mustard? My car is yellow...hence the yellow paint, plus the taillights and strut tower bar are red..hence the red paint.

Works for me!

I can see that yellow cars with red calipers look badass... but both red and yellow is just funny to me. But that's my opinion.
