haha i wonder if manaray will come in. imho, either black or silver/aluminum, and that's it. red is rice imho when you don't even have a brake upgrade. say you get the red brembo brakes, then yeah painting the rear black kinda makes sense. but other than that, no no

fwiw, i have ap racing, and i ordered black instead of red

I painted my calipers black and thought about silver. I did not use any lexus stickers. I did paint my rear rotor hats silver, since they had some rust forming on them.

Here is a photo of camren's silver GS with red calipers.

Hope this helps with your decision.

Nah bro. You can go with RED if ya want. I had Y2K Silver GS w/Powerstop rotors & Red calipers front Powerslot in rears w/RED calipers. If you paint your rotor hats & paint your calipers it will look good. Mine were awesome.

I have mine painted red... And Rice is a matter of opinion anyways.. But I also have a "RED" theme going on with my GS.. If you went Silver it'll match the car and would look nice....

Blue would work...

dagr8tsthustla- I think you are looking at a silver-gray type color since you have blue stickers already.

I meant that I have blue caliper stickers...

MrSypher

Gotcha... You can always go Silver or even White then....

haha, no problems bro.
