Default Color of calipers on your F?

Hey guys I have an 08 F, and I've been watching some vids or the F. I notice that the calipers are different colors. Mine are black and has the Lexus logo on there. I notice some of your F's are blue or red and have brembo on there. Did the calipers come in different colors, or am I missing something.

Hi.

Mine are orange.

They all start out black with white Lexus lettering.

We have had them re-painted in different colours (some DIY, some pay others to do it for them).

The calipers are technically Brembo's, but didn't say it from the factory. You can buy Brembo decals though if preferred.

Hope this clarifies things for you.

Cheers.

Yeah stock from factory, the calipers are black with a white Lexus logo. Most people get their calipers powder coated in a different color with a Brembo decal. I'm looking to do mine soon in red with white Brembo decals!

I think many here, me included, got theirs off of ebay. I can't remember what size I had ordered but do remember they were just a few dollars for a set of 4. Plus, they threw in an extra in case the person screws up while affixing one.

I'm sure the white looks awesome, but it must be a pain in the butt to keep clean

You should get yourself a set of the Wedsport flat carbon centre caps though mate.

Would finish off the look really nicely.
