Default Clublexus, Please Vote For My 14" Caliper Color !

After deciding I want to uprade to the "big daddy" of BBK, I decided to go with a 14" BBK. Which one, I am still undecided.. So far its either going to be Brembo, Stoptech or Rotora. Now, I cannot make up my mind on caliper colors.. Black(stealth look), Red(racing look), or Silver(classy look). I am definately going with cross drilled rotors. I want this thread to run for a few weeks and after I will decide.. No need to rush, old man winter is coming. So come all CL people, please chime in on your opinions !

Here is some front, side, and rear pics of my car so you get an idea of how its going to look like.. Please also tell me why you would choose a specific color over another !

For me, my opinion now..

1) Black Calipers, stealth look, matches the "theme" of my car's exterior. Though, don't know if its that noticable with the color being black..

2) Red Calipers, racing look. Very noticable. Though don't know if the color will stick out too much to my overall theme of the car. I find it acceptable to put red calipers because this is a real BBK instead of stock calipers painted red, but hey to each his own !

3) Silver Calipers, class look. Don't know if its going to be an off color silver to my car.


Thanks gang !

If you want a little attention, then go red.

For me, though, you already have all the black trim so Black would be my vote.

Looks like black is solidly pulling away. I think it is time to decide on which kit.
