dpends on what type of shop you are and what type of product image you want to convey:

race/ performance image = maybe anodized red, gold, blue (i.e. something JDM-ish)

luxo/performance image = silver IMO

So true.. I'm more a race and performance kind of guy but most lexus people are into the luxury and graceful type of look so most likely I will have to go with anodized silver
