Its looks great. 
I was going to paint mine black also.Red is ok but I like the black because it ties everything togather nicley.Red stands out a litle to much IMO .We have the same car also black FRC so I am glad to see how they look.Did you notice any differance in the brakes.Mine stops on a dime now with stock rotors .New wheels are my next change.Still having a rough time deciding

I too have the black calipers on my 00 triple black. It does look great.
I have considered painting the brackets dark grey, and using stainless backer plates. My first upgrade to the brakes will be the dimpled and slotted rotors with black painted hats and vents.
I did this on my Black Q45, and it looks great. The caliper really pops!

It would definately accent it better.
