Default Caliper color choices: Help!

Looking to have my calipers painted soon. I really want to do yellow or blue. Can't seem to find many good examples on a white 3is. Preferably stock wheels and ride height. Anyone have some pics or thoughts?

definitely yellow, another cl member, snailedit (in IS build threads you can see) has a white IS with white calipers and they look really good, or if you were to do them blue you could do it the color of the upgraded f sport brake calipers & that would look good too

I don't like the white calipers personally. And it seems everyone does red. That's why I am leaning towards yellow or f sport blue. Hoping someone has some good side shots on an ultra white with stock ride height

I believe he meant to say the calipers were yellow...cause they are.

Thanks, good call! I didn't even check. This was exactly what I needed to see.
