Default Painting my Calipers, Color?

Hey CL, getting ready to order the G2 paint caliper system. Many of you have seen my car but its SGM with F-Sport springs and F-Sport wheels. I am thinking that blue would be the best color to go with the F-Sport theme and maybe some of those black lexus caliper stickers. Do you think blue would be the best color combo?

Good point but those of use who cant afford the 3+ thousand for racing calipers it adds a little bit of flash. I used that same kit (but red) and it came out really good and plenty of people have complimented me on it.

i agree with you, not everyone does have the money to throw around on a bbk including me. i was just saying imo it looks tacky (to me) to paint a stock caliper blue or red or green etc... especially on a lexus. again just my opinion.
