Just playing devil's advocate. I don't think they look bad. These calipers are standard Brembo 4-piston calipers and they're used on a lot of cars (and Range Rovers) with different finishes. I prefer the GT500 glossy black w/ white text. I really like the gold ones another member did on his SGM GT.

They turned out looking really nice.
I think the red with a silver Brembo logo would look good on my car.

The wheels would blend in if the calipers were black. Like I said, it creates depth being red, which makes the wheels stand out because you can easily see the depth. A black caliper wouldn't do this.

It gives it a finished looks vs. bare metal. Just finished painting my non Brembos looks a great deal better.
