Default Blue Brake Calipers

I am interested in aftermarket brake calipers for my 2020 Lexus UX Hybrid.

As I understand, Lexus aftermarket brake calipers are typically blue and have a Lexus logo.

I contacted the local dealer about blue brake calipers and they stated that they only have the OEM parts in stock.

I have scavenged on eBay, Brembo, and Autozone to no avail.

Does anyone know where I could locate blue brake calipers for a Lexus?

Installing new calipers is not like installing stickers.

Your only option is to paint them but at that point, why draw attention to 11" brakes. That's even assuming you paint them well which is hard to do if you aren't experienced.

They also make generic caliper covers in plastic or metal but they're pretty pricey and are likely to just introduce problems.

I'd just leave them stock.

This, the other thing about the caliper covers is while to each their own - they look notoriously out of place. Imagine that on our 11" rotors..

Why not have them professionally powder coated?
I had them powder coated on my Miata and I love them, but they are much smaller than the UX. Would they really look bad on the UX if painted???????

As I had expected, eBay, Brembo, and Autozone did not carry the brake calipers I was seeking. In fact, there was no attempt to locate an alternative dealer for calipers by eBay.

As I understand, Lexus aftermarket brake calipers are typically blue and have a Lexus logo. Would these only be available on the F-Sport model of the UX? (I do not have F-Sport.)

I am visiting the local dealer in Carlsbad for service with the Lexus App (FYI, Lexus Financial Services app works every month but I cannot unlock my doors or start my engine with the official Lexus App).

Any suggestions on blue brake calipers would be much appreciated. The dealer in Los Angeles stated that they only have the OEM parts in stock.

I have the F sport hybrid, no blue caliper on mine.

You would have to get caliper covers. No one makes aftermarket or big brake calipers for the UX yet and since the UX has a 1-piston caliper, the Lexus logo has nowhere to sit.
