The score is tied at 10 RED and 10 BLACK ![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)
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![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
