I agree with RED95sc, you should have gone with a different color. With the way you have it you cant see them at all. BUT! to each his own, and as long you dig it its cool. Cant wait to get mine, they're red.

My twinturbo vr4 is red with red calipers so i wanted to try black out first on the lex..but like with other mods of this type, it depends on how clean the person keeps their car. If someone pays attention to detail they will stand out fine i think...plus i might do decals but not sure yet.

Idk, if i were u i would consider gloss black..also in my case the moda wheel shows alot of the caliper. Plus the 100-0 is still my number one reason for this mod !

Nice mod! a friend of mine just picked up a complete set of front calipers and rotors off of a '96 that looked new (even had new pads) at a u-pull-it this morning for $50 LOL, Had them on his IS300 by this afternoon (he painted his red)

Here is a pic: (not all lugs were on and tight yet)

think you just need tire shine to finish that gloss black look
