Caliper decal & painting options - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I'm getting my calipers redone and was curious to get feedback from everyone on what you think would look good.

Currently the calipers are black with a "Toyota" white decal on it.

I'm thinking of sticking with black (although red might look nice - but I worry I'd look like I'm trying too hard since red typically only looks good on a Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette etc..).

I'm thinking this time of putting a TRD decal on it instead of "Toyota".

Let me know what you think in terms of color and decal...

Here are a few pics of my current set up.

If anyone can photoshop a red caliper and TRD decal into my pics, that would rock.

I personally would just stick to black.
I wonder what it would look like if you matched the paint colour.

I would just leave it as it is.

Personally, I think that putting a TRD decal on the stock brakes is just rice.

I like it the way it is. Looks factory.

I would stick with regular black.. I would only color them red if you went with a BBK.

Try red with the word "Camry" on it.

It'll look 10x better!

Like the Corvette's.

Hmm... Yummy!!!

I like it the way it is, except I am not a big fan of the Toyota decal. Maybe "Camry" would look better? Or maybe nothing, just the black paint...

How about the logo instead of the word Toyota?

Put "Lammydi" on your calipers, and I'll put "GT-R" on mine.

I rather have the wheel stand out, than the caliper. Keep it the way it is!

Just black without any words on it. If they're the stock brakes, there's not really anything to brag about. If you had a big brake kit that would be another story

I've been pondering the same options and this is prob way I am going because of the stock brakes. But the logo idea has a cool sound to it. How do these decals hold up, best place to get em?
I am wondering if I go stock brakes - painted black - white or metallic logo.

I say the same for you, no red tho. I may actually go pearl black calipers to match my modded emblems

Keep it the way it is, looks nice.

The more I look at the pics the more I realize with stock brakes it looks best as is or with "Camry" decal. The logo may not fit & center well on a stock brake.

where did u get the decals at? can i just go to as sticker store and make one? im afraid that the heat might melt it off or something.
