The score is tied at 10 RED and 10 BLACK 
I'll be getting Stoptech Slotted rotor all around and I'll be sticking white "LEXUS" decals on.
I'm leaning towards Red. I mean it can't look that ricey right? The IS350 calipers are huge (4-piston monoblock) and I'll be using 13.1" slotted rotors.

my vote goes to red, seen enough IS' on this forum sportin red calipers to know its gonna look good. i mean, when i saw the pics of those cars, the first word that popped into my head definitely wasn't "honda" or "rice". it was more like "lucky mother$^&^#$"
just make sure you do a good job painting them, or they might look kinda cheap

Ok, since my car seemed to pop up on this thread. I will give my opinion.
I have personally see an is350BBK (upclose) painted red.
It did not look good. Yes I said it, it did not look that great.
Why you ask? Because the is350BBK, is to mono block. it has no shape or curve, its just a big slightly curved piece of metal. It has no characteristics, of a big brake kit, besides being over sized. I think it looks best black/matte/gloss/ or bare iron.
I think if you made it a metallic sliver, almost bare metal would look even better.
FOR EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best thing would be, Glossy black or metal, with the Lexus logo.
But that's just me
What ever you do, don't get it powder coated!
I cant believe some idiots, told me to do that before. That's when i was a n00b
