What color caliper goes with Liquid Platinum Sedan?
I am going nutz deciding on what color caliper goes with Liquid Platinum G37XS Sedan on stock 18s(future upgrade to Rays 19s Matte grey). Maybe you guys can help me decide, Red or purple with silver Akebono logo?
Here's the internal battle going on inside my head. Somedays, Red says bam! check out my calipers biatches...and other days, classy sports sedan car. I paid an extra 2k for the "S" letter, might as well add the bling. Then other days, purple caliper says cars needs a serious drop playa and other days, oh thats interesting how the purple flows with that car color and dont stick out like a sore thumb..aaah!! help me obi wan kenobi...
I cant find a LP sedan with Red caliper but did find one with purple caliper.

Lavender? Too girly?
Need to decide by tonight/ tomorrow morning, I am driving shop guy nuts.
Just need to know which color goes with liquid platinum sedan. Agreed red is common and played out but not where I live. There are guys on this and other G forums but I never seen them in the street. So in a way, we are unique.
I also have stoptech cross drilled/slotted zinc coated as part of my bbk kit if that helps.
Purple
Red

Thanks, blnewt. Truth be today, saw Soundmike car, the over all look was just amazing. That's what started this internal conflict. Since the summer, all I was looking at was wheels and caliper...it didn't matter what make or model it was. Them is like ***** to me, my eyes automatically drawn down there lol. Saw bunch of sports car on the highway with colored caliper and fat wheels. That porsche panamera comes to mind. Thats what started this journey. I also saw cars with nice expensive wheels but with stock calipers painted red. I know that's not for me.
Today is the day I need to decide what color. Thanks everyone for the reply. Wish me luck. Will post pics of post boob job lol.

Saw bunch of sports car on the highway with nice bright color caliper and wheels. Thats what started this journey. I also saw cars with nice expensive wheels but with painted stock calipers red.

I'm not sure why you're interested in purple. IMO it's extremely gaudy in a DD sedan, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
Personally, I'd recommend you consider something that compliments the car in a way that doesn't demand attention. For example, your car is LP, so go half-way to black with a dark, smokey gray. You'll get a unique look, but it will be personal and subtle.
If you go towards a loud color contrast, 99% of the general public who sees your car will immediately notice the big, painted calipers... but they won't understand or really care. So the adults will assume you're a racerboy, and the kiddies will be impressed. Ug.
If you really need color in your calipers... I do somewhat like that metallic maroon color in the top right of GT-R's post.

Appreciate your thoughts Rochester. It's my weekend car but I hear you.
Just saw a silver m.b c300 with what appears as silver stance wheels with cross drilled rotor and silver caliper, couldn't tell its stock or aftermarket caliper. Over all very clean and sporty Imo.

I'm not totally against color in our BBK calipers. Truth be told, I've often thought just a hint of amber/orange would look good against my Moonlight White. But that's white. Your Liquid Platinum would be awkward with most colors that divert from that big Infiniti gray. And I think you feel the same way, hence the dilemma and this thread.
