Ugh. This is the hardest decision of my life thus far. Thanks for your input everyone. I think I'll have to just flip a coin.

If he's going to do that (between the two) what's the point of flat black when the caliper is already matte

Glossy black or blue bro

Blue or Red. I say no on the black because it will be to dark and just blend in to much.

It cost $800 to powder coat calipers? Never new that it would cost that much. Good thing mine already came powder coated yellow. Yellow is not my first choice but I still like it.

btw anyone know where I could get a set of Lexus decal?
