The color matched calipers are SICK! Nice job. If you can't do a color match, I would have to agree with the black calipers with the white stickers. I started a thread on this subject before painting mine. I am Tungsten Pearl, and went with the red calipers and white stickers. There are so many combinations out there that look really good, as just as many that look awful. I think you are always safe with black though. Should look really good with the red!

Kumquatism, that looks really good! I'm still debating what color I should paint mines (TP 2IS)..

Slammer1, any pics of your red calipers on TP?

I have no idea what color to paint the calipers. I like them red, but that seems odd for a red car.

What do you guys think?

A silver blue(nor to light) with white Lexus looks good with Red.
