Bye Bye 2002 Silver SC430 156k miles

Hello everyone!

This is my 3rd Lexus and I love everyone of them.

Want to paint my calipers....white, red, or Glossy Black?

Congrats and I wish good luck with your new car.

As to the calipers, I'd say black, but I'd have to see the car first.

As for the calipers, that is completely a personal choice and depends on the look you're after. I went with red on mine, but black or silver would look good as well. I would also advise to go with Lexus decals on them, as it really completes the look. They can be had on Ebay for cheap. I applied mine and then sprayed a coat of clear with a rattle can to keep the decals protected. Here's a pic: http://i60.tinypic.com/nqpvlk.jpg

Congrats on your purchase!
I'm sure you will enjoy it very much!
My calipers were painted red with the Lexus sticker already applied, so the previous owner must taken care of that already.
My color is Black Sapphire Pearl and the calipers are red.
Not a huge fan of it but can't complain.
Great choice and congrats once again!

Well obviously I think that's a great choice! But again, I think it comes down to what YOU like. There are many here at CL that feel my wheel choice was a poor one. Then they went on to add that the caliper color choice was equally, poorlyl thought out. But at the end of the day I LIKE it.
