Default Color matched brake boosters? polished? post it all..

So today at work I was wondering how color matched boosters would look. Or even polished, custom....something besides normal black. Post them up

color matched to the body not good, no contrast, accent it, for example purple vc purple booster...I think that would look good.

Looks good in a darker colour, not so good in a lighter colour... my opinion anyway.

I think it would look good if done right (evenly sprayed/color sanded/buffed). It would look like its part of the firewall
