Opinion Needed: Red brake calipers OR no?
 
Hello all. I am taking my car in tommorrow to my buddys shop to do the brake calipers. Here are two pictures of my car below. He has a car similar to mine and the red looks real nice.

Question is. Should i do RED brake calipers or no? If no, then black? But to me black wont give any detail. Please help, thanks folks.

I say do the red and lexus decals. Would look nice on the car and stand out.

Thanks for the opnion. I think red would look nice. And remember the car isnt done yet. Itll be lowered, and my roof and lip spoiler need to be installed.

Black=sleeeeper

red= aftermarket and something to show off... black=something that you just cleaned up and wanted to make presentable with the rims. i would go black

I think both would look good. Black caliper and white decal or Red caliper black decal..Both would give detail... :thumbup:

hmmm. Confusing. I think Red would look nice because it would look aftermarket and get more compliments. Black doesnt add much.

Im thinking red. Not sure about adding a decal though like tmf suggested. Never looked into it...

^^^ I agree

I am sticking to stock brakes. Will the black paint on the caliper even add anything? I wanted something that compiments the rims and car. Black might look nice, but too stock. I looked at some pics, very confusing.
