Default Caliper Decals what do you think...

I'm gonna paint my calipers red in a few weeks. Been going over some designs with a friend of mine who cuts vinyl decals for signs. I'm thinking with the red going with white decals cause it will stand out better then say black which was my other choice. You guys think the white will look better or a black. My car is quartz and with me tinting out the windows and then blacking out the lights I'm not sure if the white will look out of place. This is what the calipers will have on them once I'm done instead of the Jaguar R.

That's nice but with a red calipers how will you be able to stand out "the red leaper" and " RACING" letters .
My humble suggestion is darker blue leaper and RACING instead of red one you posted

So your going with red calipers, a white leaper, and green "Jaguar Racing" lettering? Is this going on Brembos, or do you have the smaller ones?

I kinda didnt explain that too well. These are brembo. The caliper will be red and that logo I posted the entire thing will either be black or white. This is what I'm trying to decide on. The colors it is now are just the colors of the logo. It will be cut out of the color that I need so the logo is just what it will look like. Since he is cutting it out of whatever color I need I dont have to change the color of the logo.

A red/white combo would look pretty good, IMHO. Especially with your Quartz exterior, I think it would give you a classic performance color combo. Are you considering updating your "R" emblems too?

Hmmm, then even though I literally prefer black over red in your case I would pick up red / white combo too

You could go in a different direction with a two-tone sort of thing, like this:

Im gonna go ahead and say 100% black. It seems as if you are going with the silver/black/smoked look anyways, and I think white may be a little out of place. I had black Porsche decals on my Brembos, and they looked great, didnt "POP" out at you but you could read/see them just fine.
