I actually saw a TSX with Volks and neon green calipers, and I thought it looked great. Defiantly something different..
I dont know how it would go with a Lex, but its an idea..?

Since you have 3K3 I vote for gold or polished.

I voted for gunmetal however I think gold would also look good.

Imho polish would clash with the rims, red would clash with the car and black wouldn't be visible.

I struggled to find a decent colour, it's important to get good high temp resistant paint otherwise it all flakes off.....

I went with red in the end for a green car with bronze rims. Not too many other options.

Hey Matt,

I don't know about everyone, but i think your anodized caliper idea is pretty good...i would love to see that being done actually. go for it!! then maybe i can follow suit lol.

On the other end of the spectrum, polished would be nice (especially if they're Endless BBK's like on Gadget's SC... drool).
You mean my car

Gadget has Greddy Grex brakes...

To make them stand out like you wish, it has to be a color that isn't on your car yet but blends well with the rest of what you have. I voted for gold. Gold with the red supra or lexus sticker, sbc sp1's on top = madness!

I voted for bronze, but I was aiming for something along the lines of a dark gold. Do NOT go red! It would look tacky.

anodizing is a bear of a mission... I've seen it done and its gorgeous. I'm letting you guys know this is not like painting your calipers and calling it a day.
