Default time to change the caliper color

Had the blue, but feel it is to common and doesn't stand out enough. So I went with Wild Lime!

Is this the front or the rear caliper?

I'm thinking about changing mine up to red from black.

It's actualy a professional grafitii artist paint but works really well because of how it's designed.

Sorry for the dumb question ... I have a 2008 IS250 AWD and would love red calipers. What are my options for getting this done ranging from OEM to high quality mod?

For about $10-$20 you could just clean and then paint your current brake calipers red...then the next step would be buying used 350 front brakes to get a larger caliper, if that is what you are asking (should be around $300-$500 for all the parts you need to do the conversion)...then the top end would be going for an all out BBK for mid 4 figures, depending on the quality of the kit you go with.
