Default Brake caliper color?

2016 GS 350 Liquid Platinum

I was thinking red but now, I'm thinking blue?

Which would you do?

Too many with either red or orange, blue looks more like the F Sport calipers that were offered in the past.

I'll be doing the burnt copper on mine. I have the paint and decals already just don't have the time. I'll probably do it in the next few weeks. Will send picks.

I also have a liquid platinum f-sport. I was thinking red too, but I'm leaning more towards the blue myself... The orange wouldn't look right on our vehicles IMO.

I wonder what would look best with Atomic Silver. I was thinking burnt copper metallic or something similar.

Really like the Lamborghini fire orange but if between the two, for sure blue.

Your rim looks cool! How do you make it black?

Looks great with all black. I am not sure this would look as good on a different color.

I think yellow would look great with your black/black setup.
