IMO paint it either black or white and put the opposite colors on for the caliper stickers.

Thanks for your input, Will.

There is a pic of red caliper with white logo. Look pretty sweet to me.



Any other opinion?

Seeing that there is nothing being bought, sold, or wanted here I'm going to move this on over to the general GS forum and out of the Classifieds.

I would say Silver with NO logo.

Silver so it'll stand out w/o screaming "I HAVE STOCK BRAKES" and no logo because it's OBVIOUS that they're Lexus brakes. No need to point out the obvious...

Performance brake colors should only be on PERFORMANCE brakes (but even then, I still picked black )

If you just want to improve the looks w/o attracting any attention to your stock brakes, definitely do Black...

GS3-Kid858 - I have black calipers. I went with the Six Piston AP Racing setup and even though I have REAL performance brakes (not just the "look" of performance), I felt there was no need to make them flashy...
