what color of caliber sticker should I put on my car?
#17
I put red decals on mine. It seems red calipers are popular, and I really didn't want to paint the entire caliper. I thought the calipers have kind of a silver face with a blackish body. I put red decals on and clear coated the front 1/3 of the caliper. Everthing turned black(er), no hint of silver, well except the decal is red, and they look pretty nice. I'll try to get a pic in the next couple of days. Oh yes I have a black onyx car

I forgot to give my sourcewww.flatlinegraphix.com/they were like 12.00 or 14.00 dollars for four, I think you have to E them for your type. I haven't decided if I want to do the rears or not. They make IS250 sets also but I think due to the caliper they're pretty small.

honestly, i would paint the caliper the color you want (say red if that is the color of the decal) then apply the decal as a mask, then spray the caliper silver, black or whatever. Then remove the decal to reveal the underlying color; then spray it with high temp clear.
The reason for this is i would be concerned the decals would fall off.
i know some people on the scion boards have removed thier calipers, grinded them smooth and then powdercoated them......
just a suggestion.
