Thoughts on painted calipers?
I have a '13 A7 in Quartz Grey with Nougat interior. I love the look of painted calipers but am having a heck of a time choosing a color that would compliment my car yet stand out. Anyone with this combo do it yet? And what color did you pick? Any input/thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

DON'T DO IT in red or yellow! Silver and Black are low-key and will match your Audi. I say leave the red/yellow to Brembo, Porsche, and other race-inspired products.
I recently see so many tacky little teenager junk cars rolling around with blacked-out the windows and "fake" hi-performance calipers....I guess they think that that red calipers stop better! All it really does it call your attention to their ugly dumb-looking stock brakes.
