If you don't plan on tracking your car, don't worry about getting a BBK. Painting the OEM calipers is really pretty easy. Put the car on jack stands, take the wheels off, tape everything up, lightly sand the calipers, apply a primer coat (optional), a couple of coats of color, and a clear coat or two, and you're good to go. Factoring in the time between coats, it's easy enough to do in a day. I have the jack, stands and the garage if you ever want to do it. I could probably convince a buddy of mine who works in the Ferrari/Maserati body/paint shop here in Houston to help out. Thanks, man. Everything besides the wheels should be on the car in a couple of weeks. The wheels probably won't arrive from Japan for another month and a half. I'll post pics of the finished product.

Thanks for the offer. But still sounds like a lot of work. I think if I ever get serious about painting my calipers, I'll just rent a car for a couple of days, and have a bodyshop do all the work.

I'd go matte black w/ anthracite wheel color. Especially since your exhaust is black. I'd only go silver if I change out the exhaust to a regular silver/polished finish. As for the BBK with silver I think it'll match pretty good but red w/ dark wheels will look even better. You should pick if you want sport or class.
