Brake caliper color?
So I'm thinking of painting my calipers. I don't know what color to with. What u guys recommend?
My car is blue

Also I see that some members painted "Lexus" on the calipers.... Can anyone share some info with that?

I choose black. To me, anything else would look like you're trying to fake an aftermarket BBK.

Black....if you do red, its a no no from a purist standpoint but at least the GS has a nice fat caliper so it won't look too bad...
I've been flirting with a dark purple...but scared yall would ask for my resignation

I think that'd look great! DO ittt!! And I would agree with Henry..black or silver would look best on OEM calipers. Especially with a white or chrome "Lexus" sticker!
