Did you guys do the front and back calipers? I just got my stickers and they range in different sizes. I noticed the back calipers are smaller and have and don't have a flat surface on the top.
Yep, I noticed the same thing. I plan on just painting my rear calipers black (to match my front ones), with no sticker. Perhaps I'll change my mind once I have everything apart and maybe just put the white Lexus logo, but only if I can find a location that I think will look good.
Did mine this weekend. If you opt for the spray technique I only used one bottle. The G2 kit has plenty of paint. I think I did 3-4 coats and still had plenty of paint to spare. After applying the decals I finished up with a hi-temp gloss.
Usually a darker car a brighter color works and just a contrast... Remember people see your brakes when the wheel is spinning fast so you want a color that's going to look good.. All good choices though first I did black with yellow letters but then decided to go with the yellow and black letters on the white especially with the color of my wheel
The calipers look great. How is the paint holding up now that you have some miles on them?
I've done this to my last three cars (the GS, and two BMW 5 series) over three or so years. Never had a problem and go through the local car wash regularly.
I just changed my white vinyl for reflective white, and it was a PITA to get the old decal off. I was surprised how well the stayed with the high temps. I haven't painted mine yet. Just wanted to see how I liked the lettering first.
You can clear them to be safe
