CLS55 AMG with red brake calipers or no

Hello everyone, I have a silver cls55 amg lowered on some vellanos and was wondering whether or not i should get the brake calipers painted red or just leave them the factory silver. The silver on the front brake calipers are starting to show some wear and tear from age but its hard to see in the pics. The rears looks fine tho. I would really appreciate anyones input. Here are some photos of the car and sorry there kinda crappy pics lol

Red will stand out too much IMHO calipers looks good as is.

Is it lowered with links ?

I think it would give it a nice "pop"..a deeper red imo. The taillights (from a side view) would pull it altogether.

Yea I was thinking of a deeper red so that it gives it a small pop but not too much like a bright red could.

Hay , Man just paint them brake calipers red any red and call it a day, Mine are red from the factory and they stand out only issue is keeping them clean . Get some toothbrushes and some brushes a little larger and some bug & tar remover and aluminum wheel cleaner . The only issue with color calipers is keeping them clean.. Enjoy
