Default Red GSF or Any Color with Orange Calipers

Hi! I've wanted to see how nice the new orange calipers are especially on Infrared RCF. I'm coming here because they're marketed with the new GSF. And 2015 RCFs have way better deals than 2016 RCFs that are not really ordered yet so, can't find in RCF section yet. The one on Lexus.com is too photoshopped. And google images have a bunch of USB GSF with Orange Calipers and not a lot of the other colors of GSFs.

How bright or deep is the shade? Can you post pictures with good or slightly dark lighting?

Thanks!

Thanks! For the pics. Yea, blood deep orange might work. Is there a way to test fit them? Or all of them are made to order? Any oem websites you recommend?

I had mine done in Arcadia at Fast AutoWorks. They do a great job. He'll install aftermarket parts as well.

Good Luck.

Looks good! Love that look! I have ultra white red interior debating orange calipers but might be too many colors! Mine are currently black (2016) wanted to paint the F color blue but that won't clash good either, might just keep them black? What you think

Orange Caliper works well with White, Black, Grey, Orange and Blue. Orange Caliper is actually quite popular on Lambo and McLaren.

Personally I love orange calipers, but not sure if I want it on my DD.

As long as you don't have red interior then it's a lot of colors! Ive seen a ultra white red interior and orange calipers and it didn't look right but it's different for sure

I think the orange calipers go best w/ the GS-F blue
