You say the black will "hardly be noticable" i respectfully disagree. The overall look of you car should stand out and make people say WOW that's nice. Then let em stand back and wonder why. The red caliper just says/screems brake caliper mod end of story. Less can be more. My .02

Red, but has to be the right color of red. I have a blacked out IS with black wheels, tail lights, etc. After painting the calipers black, it looked retarded so now they are red...

Black with white "Lexus" decals is classy. The red will stand out too much unless you want the attention.

I'd normally say red, but I think black would compliment your car perfectly.
