Just worry about the quality of the calipers and how they'll fit into the brake system you eventually want to build... brake components have to be fairly carefully matched to one another or it'll throw the overall system out of whack and you won't have good brake performance or feel. The best performing (read: expensive) brakes are usually whole kits for good reason.. if the company is worth anything, like Baer, Brembo, etc.., then they've matched all the components together and tested it as a complete system. Plus, you want to make sure if you get new calipers that they can accomodate bigger rotors if you want to do that down the road. So just worry about how it'll work, not about how it looks... if it doesn't make the car go (or stop) faster, it's not really worth getting anyway. :wink:
