I love the L-Tuned logo on the brakes, but what color car is that on? Red brakes are a little racy for most Lexus colors, IMO. But the L-Tuned logo is a nice touch regardless!

There is no L-tuned brake. What Steve has is the caliper sticker which you can put on your stock calipers.

From the way I see it you are advertising that you have l tuned brakes when you do not have them nor do they exist. That is like putting L sportline on sticker on a stock muffler. Am I missing something ?

I wholeheartedly agree. L-tuned stickers on red-painted stock calipers is a rice mod. Why? Because instead of buying a REAL performance braking system, you are buying a cheap, fake, dress up that looks like it's performance-oriented when in fact it is not. An added bonus is that L-tuned doesn't even make brake calipers!
If that isn't rice, you tell me what is. I suppose those fake-disc brake inserts you buy at Walmart "simply looks cool" as well. JDM badging is far, far dettached from this kind of modding. Please don't confuse the two.

l-tuned
The l-tuned "custom" calipers don't look that bad. i have seen much worse. I like seeing people do things different, tasteful or not, and it doesn't ruin the car, its still a lexus.
