Do you guys think painting the calipers red or black would look ok with my ride:

Red is the more usual "stand-out" option - but I am not sure if the calipers are big enough (especially with the larger rims) to warrant the paint. May make it look like you have wimpy brakes?

I agree

i had the calipers painted blk (looks ok IMO)

I dont think it made the GLK look worse or anything

notice I also replaced the cener caps with brabus center caps instead of the benz ones

I will post pics tonight

Here is the link for the pics of the calipers and the lights

Pictures by MadLorGLK - Photobucket

pics are pretty bad quality

they look alot better in person

The calipers painted black IMO looks alot cleaner and does not look cheap and is barely noticeable

The lights on the other hand, I'm not sure how happy I am with them, gotta wait and see

They are alot brighter than they look in the picture

I took lots of photos (poor quality tho), so just look thru the album
