Black FTW. I originally did mine red forever ago and finally redid them last yearish black. So much better now.

They look good only when done nicely. Otherwise looks very cheap.

I did the TSX caliper upgrade. Sanded out the imperfections and painted them red :]

ricy or ricey? either way i think its not. let the other car manufacturers agree with me.

""The LF-A’s customizable options are almost endless as seen by this “build your LF-A” type box complete with colour swatches, brake caliper colours, rim finishes, interior material choices and even stitching choices. Each of the selected 10 owners in Canada were given this box to make their selection and the interesting fact is that this is the only demo box of its kind! Hmm… auction anyone?""

looks like Lexus thinks its a great idea.
""The car is expected to roll out next year with a price tag of $375,000. Out of the 500 cars which they are planning to produce we may expect that each one will be uniqe and different from one another if these options are true.""

Painted calipers can definitely look cheap. Large stock brakes (Brembos or something similar) and aftermarket big brake kits look great painted and are nice to look at. Stock calipers on most cars (including the S2K) look best untouched or painted simple black or silver.
