Red looks amazing, but I want to be slightly different. White car, 23' OEM wheels look great. Any votes here? Red? Orange? Yellow? Want to avoid White or Black and I will be putting an OEM Supra sticker on them when done! Appreciate any pictures folks have besides stock base and stock premium colors. Thanks!

Purple is the only correct color.

why don't you wait a bit until you know what other mods you want to do to the car? maybe you'll come up with a color scheme you'd enjoy, for example, you want the calipers to match the dress-up bolts of the engine, etc. etc.

to pitch in ideas, i think purple or cyan would pop on a white car

I am struggling with the same issue on my Strat blue. I think a metallic color would look much better, but I am undecided at this point.

At the very least coordinate with a badge overlay for the trunk and coordinate it with the Toyota badges. I am in no rush!

I ended up doing silver to brighten up the dull grey on my base model. It came out way better than I expected. Also added the decals to mirror the oem look for the 21

Heres my feedback:

Red, Metallic burnt orange(GTR), purple, green yellow(last STI model)

No white, no black, or silver.

edit: Welp, too late.

This looks great! Did you spray on the car? Just mask off the pads and other bits as best you can?

nah,I just used G2 caliper paint.The kit comes with everything you need. Just use a better brush. The silver has lots of flake in it so it’s really nice. Mask the caliper and tape off the parts. Super easy
