yea man i def. say go with red...i have a superwhite with the red calipers. It took me about 3 hours total to do with drying time included in that. The easiest way to paint them is to go to autozone and get the brake caliper paint kits they sell. It comes with everything you need including the cleaner, paint, brushes, and everything else. I chose to took the wheels off so that took a while but after everything it was really easy and a great diy mod. Good luck and hope everything goes smooth. Put up some pics when you finish.

Earlier tCs had greenish gray calipers.
