The "match" to wheel color might add a "finished" touch to the project, red/black, black/red, well I just don't get the "splash" on a '90 or earlier project. The '91+ maybe but I'm not much of a "splash graphics" enthusiast anyway.

I agree with Dave here; Red sans 'splash'.

'Splash', maybe on center caps. Or 'ORIGINAL' ZR1 on center caps...

I have the 'splash' on the fender currently, but can be removed. I can leave the calipers plain I suppose, I just thought the 'splash' was a nice add, especially if I remove it from the fender.

Polish the calipers and use the splash or a ZR-1 decal.
Maybe black.

I vote for the Red ones. Paint or Powder Coat?

I went black on mine (C5 calipers). I tend to like things a little subtle and felt red was a little much, also red was never a caliper color on the C4s so I felt it was more in keeping with that. My car is black/black.

I like the red with black but both look great!

black with white letters. if you have red accents on the car then black with red letters.

I could do a Silver lettering too

Facing on the calipers needs to be redone. They are currently black, so if I did black it is just cleaning up mostly. I don' think they need to be a complete repaint.

edram, the car has red accents currently

Dom,

Polishing would be nice, but a pain to keep up and not really in the budget to have someone do it this year.. maybe next season. I could do the script in a polished finish with and leave the caliper black..

Needs a set of my billet center caps with ZR-1 engraving to "set" off the wheels.
