Default Caliper recommendations for GS350 Crafted

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. Glad to be aboard! I have a question. I have a white '15 GS350 Crafted Line. I'd like to have red calipers Does anyone have a caliper upgrade recommendation for me that would not involve spending thousands of dollars? Simply painting the stock calipers red is not what I'm looking for. I don't think I'd get a good look. Any creative ideas out there?

Thanks in advance.

Jim

Not sure if you're looking for performance, looks or both. Most folks opt to simply paint their existing calipers and add a decal.

I too have a white GS and have the calipers painted red. Not sure why you think painting the calipers wouldn't be a good look. If you want to stick with the black/white theme of your Crafted line, i'd say paint the calipers a glossy black and put a white Lexus decal.

Just an idea: for a unique look you can always wrap your existing calipers in a reflective 3M vinyl which comes in various colors as shown in the pics below:

Black calipers would be too subtle. The rims on crafted line are black so I would not go that route. I plan on doing my crafted line ES calipers white and getting black decals. The painted on look if done properly looks really well and many club members have done it. That reflective vinyl looks beautiful though
