Since I have my car, I painted drums and calipers twice. I painted them black. It really makes a big difference when you have wheels, it makes the wheels look better, hiding the gray collored calipers in front, and the rusty drums.
I painted the drums right after I bought the car because here in Canada rust comes fast on these...right after the first winter. I agree, colored drums (red, yellow) are ugly! For Canadians I say go for black....because rusty drums wont make the car look better with wheels after winter. |

I say no paint or black on the drums too.
The TRD logo on mine are caliper decals - a special high temp decal. So far they've held up well. I got them from guy in Hong Kong who was selling them on eBay. I think Brembo or someone went after him for copyright infringement and he got his account yanked. I'm sure you can find some if you look around. |

Whatever you do, don't get those caliper covers - they'll hold the heat in.

Plane ticket to New York: $2000
Bus fare to Atlanta, GA: $100 The pleasure of personally delivering a swift kick to the backside of redyaris for painting his rear drums red: priceless
