So I painted the brake calipers on my TSX blue awhile ago, but I kinda feel like they don't look as good on my car as red calipers would. I'm considering repainting them, but I just want to hear what you guys think.

For reference here's pics of what the brakes look like now.

Riceeee. Jk bro. I think they look nice right now but if you painted them red then they would stand out more and be a little bit more noticeable. It wouldn't look bad with red calipers.

Red but you need wheels first and a more aggressive look before you look like a rice wagon diyer lol

I like how the blue looks. Every car now has or will have red since they resemble the Brembos. I'd keep blue.

I agree, every car has either blue or red calipers. I had red calipers on my truck and I can tell you that it is a pain in the ass to keep clean. You will literally be out there cleaning them every other day or they will look like garbage.

I would get red, but you also need to get yourself a nice set of alloys

Personally, I'd stick with the blue, maybe just go with a brighter shade so it stands out a little more. Red calipers are over-done these days if you ask me.
