Default Brake caliper color?

2016 GS 350 Liquid Platinum

I was thinking red but now, I'm thinking blue?

Which would you do?

Too many with either red or orange, blue looks more like the F Sport calipers that were offered in the past.

I'll be doing the burnt copper on mine. I have the paint and decals already just don't have the time. I'll probably do it in the next few weeks. Will send picks.

I also have a liquid platinum f-sport. I was thinking red too, but I'm leaning more towards the blue myself... The orange wouldn't look right on our vehicles IMO.

I wonder what would look best with Atomic Silver. I was thinking burnt copper metallic or something similar.

Really like the Lamborghini fire orange but if between the two, for sure blue.

Wanted to try something different so I went with lime green and have been super happy with how it came out.

Your rim looks cool! How do you make it black?

Looks great with all black. I am not sure this would look as good on a different color.

I think yellow would look great with your black/black setup.
