Red doesnt look good on light blue. I voted dark silver. If you paint it black, it wont look like anything was done. A nice shade of gunmetal would look quite nice. Also, instead of the G2 paint, get 2 cans of VHT high heat paint (5 bucks a can at autozone), some newspaper, tape up the car, and spray away. Give it a good 5 coats per caliper, and youll be looking good. Mine still looks good 2.5 years later. Also, unlike the G2, you can drive in 2 hours.

I vote for this. I have seen pics of gold on Suzuka and it looks great. Someone even had the decalgirl S2000 decals in blue.

I painted mine silver with the G2 paint kit. On Suzuka, I'd probably do black or silver just to make the calipers look better. And if you grind the casting marks, they look even better.
