Ok on a late/early morning trip to walmart I was inspired to do something I hope original I will only hint that it involves black calipers and red lettering. I will post pics tomorrow of what I have come up with I hope it looks as great as I have imagined.

hot pink would have been hot... J/K

I would stick with red. but black shouldn't look bad either.
