Any Pics of Your Ride With Painted Calipers?
You guys have any side pics of your whole car with painted calipers? Not just the wheel, but the whole side of your car. I'm trying to decide painting mine either red, black, or silver. My car is alpine silver. Thanks bros!

Red is for Hi-perf Brakes
Do your car justice and don't go red unless you have a set of 4 piston brembos or AP's. With silver I'd go silver or black (in that order)...If you like the look you can get a set of caliper stickers form some members here and they dress it up a bit as well.
Don't have a pic of the whole car, but it's black like JacobT's.

thanks guys for the pics. now i'm kinda edging toward black, but my buddy with a maxima said that with black calipers, you can't see them.
anyone out there with a silver gs with painted calipers care to post a side shot of your car?

I'd check out the suspension/handling section. Many threads on brakes there.

I just ordered my caliper paint stuff. I'm going with silver and am trying to find the Lexus sticker(s) to go on them. I opted with silver because of the color of my wheels.

Well I finally did it. Decided to go black on the calipers and silver on the rotor edges and cap. Took me forever to clean and mask the stuff, but it was well worth it. Took a while today to get all the overspray off the rotors by braking. The calipers got stuck a few times cuz some of the paint was still on the rotors, but it's all good now, all gone and clean!

Bit late now, but I have silver G2 paint on my stock calipers (my car is millenium silver). I really like the look and wouldn't want black or red now.
I plan to get massive front brakes soon and will almost certainly go with silver still.
