That color is awesome on the Ring edition. Why the 'normal' red and black interior though? Is it red brake calipers also? I would have went with silver and matched the theme inside.

Yes, red calipers. I think the silver calipers might have been a little off color.

True, but they're lite enough in color to almost look white. Black calipers would have gone well also.

Black calipers would have been my top choice

I think there's always a high risk with a slightly mismatched color because it often just looks terrible. (Of course, I suppose they could have just had Lexus custom paint the calipers...)
