Default BLUE, BLACK, OR RED?

I'm bored and I'm looking to mod something this weekend.
Wife is out of town, and the brake calipers are the unlucky victims I've chosen.

So, on this car, should I go BLUE, BLACK, OR RED for the calipers?
I've enabled the "Don't do it, Donkeynuts" choice for the purists out there.

A purist like me would never reveal his position until after you have completed the 'mod' by telling you how much I don't like it.

Anyway, unless they say "Porsche" "Brembo" (you get the idea), they shouldn't be colored unless they came factory that way. Nothing is sexier than a set of 4 piston porsche calipers in the front with zinc coated (just something about that finish) 13" drilled/slotted rotors. (Go 2 piston rear, slotted).

Ah.

See.....men with LEGITIMATE positions as to why or why not to do something.
That is why your opinions stay valuable around here.

Completely understandable, and for the most part, I agree with you.
My wallet, however, thinks you are the devil.

Excellent point.

At the end of the day, I'm simply jealous of RedGoat's ride and the calipers add a nice touch. (Even though his are the real deal)

Damn that Goat.....

What was your vote before?

FIVE people have voted for Blue, but after tracking down some pics of the Dupli-Color blue paint, it CLEARLY will not be a good match.

If I were driving something that was Laguna Seca or Sprint Blue, then it would be a nice setup.
The blue from their paint kits is nowhere near the color of my car and it would probably look quite tacky upon further review.

***Here's the pic of Blue calipers. Wrong color vs. my ride.
