If you search the pics section I know I've seen one of a blue ss/sc with red calipers...it was a real nice red and went well with the blue. I've never seen a blue on blue before so I'm not real sure how it would look. Why not take a pic of your car from the side and photoshop it .

i would definitely go blue... unless you plan on using red other places on your car.

im a firm believer in not using random colors all over the car because that tends to look bad... so if you plan on some red decals, or neons, or seats or something... go red... otherwise, stay blue

Yeah I agree about the random colors all over, this weekend im de-badging and painting the calipers. One question about the de-badging tho, when i heat up the emblems, do i keep direct heat on them with a hairdryer or keep it farther away so i wouldnt heat it up too much?

Keep direct heat on it so that it makes the adhisivness (sp?) of the glue break down so that the emblem comes off easier. The process will go much faster and smoother this way.
