Need your opinion. BLACK or RED Calipers on Black car? *PIX*
I'm about to install my
IS350 FRONT and REAR brakes . What color should I paint the calipers?
RED - will stand out and match my taillights, but it might be too much.....
BLACK - is classy but will hardly be noticeable.
*I'll be installing IS350 front and rear brakes with stoptech slotted rotors.

BLUE was actually my first choice! BUT blue calipers, red taillights and yellow turnsignals makes the car look like freakin Christmas

RED! Black will blend in ... and the whole point of a BBK is for people to see them right?

If you wanted to stand out i would recommend White calipers
they look really nice on black cars.
