OK family, need your help!

Getting ready to paint my LS400 calipers and need opinion on what color i should go with. I am debating between Gold, Blue, Silver or Black.

I will be going with G2 brake caliper kit. http://www.g2usa.com/product/G2.html

My car is silver and i do not want to do red calipers. what do you guys think of the chosen colors or do you have other colors in mind?

thanks!

Silver and Black are safe. Yellow caliper and a silver car works. I've seen Porsches with that combo.

see, i dont know if its me or not, but sometimes colors seem to work better on coupes/2 doors and will look totally different on a 4door or longer car. That was actually a combo i considered but trying to imagine it on the GS didnt look like it would work.

i am going through this same delema, and i dont even have the brakes yet lol. i am leaning towards red for 2 reasons, 1) the only 2 colors i have on the entire car is silver/black exept for my red led tails 2) it is very sporty and proven to look good on a sport inspired car, which mine is.
i know the only con is, is that everyone and thier mothers have this color. i actually saw a ford expidition on 26" chrome rims with a PLASTIC CLIP-ON "BREMBO" BBK that was red yesterday at lunch. so its either go the sporty route or the subtle route, so its either: slver caliper with black decal or black caliper with silver decal or red caliper with black decal?



more pics please!!!!

red does look good but like mentioned, its the most common color out there. I like the silver with black letters or reversed. I also like the blue but more of that lighter/aqua blue.
man this is tuff lol.
