Input Needed

I have a liquid platinum G37x sedan. I am getting the Akebono brake kit installed soon after I get the calipers powder coated. I am also going to order some decals for the calipers from http://www.xenonmods.com/

What color do you think would look good for the calipers and decals?

Thanks

Edit: Here are some pictures of my car. I apologize that these were taken in my garage. It is getting dark out so good pictures will have to wait.

Notice the huge wheelgap? I plan on getting some Eibach springs installed in the next week or two.

With LP, I'd say a nice red caliper (not too bright of a red) with a silver, black or white decal.

I would do gunmetal or something darker than the car but of the same shade. That would flow well. IMO red is overplayed.

Are you planning on getting aftermarket wheels? If so, what color?

i personally had red and it got played out, then went with gold on my liquid platinum 1st gen.
