Default First Mod on my GS4 painted calipers

Here are some pics of my car with the painted calipers. I used Duplicolor Engine enamel. Worked great!

Saw a pic on this forum and tried it over the weekend. Now I need the "Lexus Stickers" to put on the calipers. Anyone know where to buy those from? I'm located in the bay area I would like to pick them up from a store or fellow CL member.

You can get them from Ebay. Now you just need some new rotors.

Default Need Rotors

Man, your rotors look like they have rust on the stopping surfuce!? That would mean that you must not be stopping very well. HAHAH you needs rotors before any other mod!!
