Anyone have a zoomed out pic of what they did with their Calipers on Atomic silver? I’m thinking of red or blue. Has anyone considered custom caliper covers? I heard they reduce brake dust but do they look good? https://www.carid.com/caliper-covers.html

So I have been considering both Lexcuse, and the common opinion is that BBK or real racing brakes would be best, however I do not have the $4k to spend on the front alone. So I found in my opinion that painting the front with a decal and using a cover for the rear seems to be the most reasonable way to handle this. As the painted front looks better than the cover in most cases, and the covered rear looks better than the painted rear in all cases.
I am tempted to do just MPG covers though due to ease of installation and durability, and I think the red MPG brake covers in red with the white lexus logo loos good on the starfire pearl.

Also , there is a separate thread here that has photos of the MPG Caliper Covers I'm considering, in addition to a sponsor who offered to give a deal on the covers at the end of the thread:
Where can i order just the caliper decals either Lexus or F Sport ones?
Also, are the decals just essentially vinyl stickers? Will common wheel cleaners the car washes use it kill the decal?
i got mine off of ebay... i looked up lexus brake stickers, and no they are actually very strong once they’re on they don’t come off when i power wash the brakes and stuff
I would love to paint mine, but can't decide what color. Would red look stupid with Matador Red Mica? I don't want black or blue, and not sure about white or yellow. The green and purple in this thread look great, but again probably won't work with the MRM.

Got my calipers painted racing red a few months ago here in Germany. The shop that did the work took all four of the calipers apart and off the vehicle. Then applied two coats of the red racing paint all over the parts (front, back, and inside). Once they were dry the shop applied white F-Sport caliper decals to the front calipers. Before putting the calipers back onto the car the shop applied a clear coat glaze to seal the paint and the decals to keep them preserved.

I painted mine a few months ago and applied the decal on each front side. I, however, had "Lexus" facing toward the center of the wheel on one side and "Lexus" facing the tire. Is this something that's totally stupid and needs to be replaced or is it something that I can get away with?
Any suggestions or pics for black cars on what color brake calipers will look nice? I'm thinking red with white decal or white with black decals. Any inputs or pics to share? Thanks.
