Because opinions vary. I actually like the way the red ones look behind the wheel. Unless the calipers are sanded smooth, with just painting them I think they look like sh!t. These give you another option.
The Si calipers do look like crap. When I put Acura Type S five star rims on, I could not stand looking at the brakes behind them. IMO red would just draw attention to them, so I painted them black. They're still ugly, serviceable calipers, but not as bad.

What paint did you use? Look really good.
Thx. Duplicolor has a brushable version in kit form. I used that so I didn't have to mask anything. Just pulled the wheel off, cleaned the caliper with brake kleen and painted it up. Very controllable. Did it last summer, still looks great.
O! Look what I found!

I like it better than the crap calipers that come with the car, it's not the greatest but does a hell of a job hiding them... Lol, no offense taken....
