I just ordered some for my gs, I don't understand why guy's get so insulted with covers,anyone who knows about car's Will be able to tell (mgp) they are covers so its not to impersonate bbk's. It could be argued that painting your calipers is an attempt to impersonate bbk's(they are the only brakes that come in colors) With that said I really like what the do for the look of the car I never really liked the brakets on the front brakes of either one of my gs's ( got 1st and 2nd Gen), I ordered mines with the Lexus engraving I will post some pic as soon as I install them.just my .02 cents.

Failed miserably!!! Ebay also has some park benches that really make the trunk stand out while your at it..

Should of just painted your brakes black so the blend in and left it alone. Now you will only be the laughing stock of the town in your cheap riced out look!!!

Some people just stick to stock cars!!!

Brian, admit it...you love these types of threads. You sort of, gravitate towards them and you contribute your $1.86.
Btw, to hyjack the op's thread why havn't we ever seen pics of your car? A little annoying. Playing too hard with the secretive game.

If I walked by a lexus with stick on fake calipers I would rip them off and hope the owner sees me. WTF is happening to our world....

People that actually bought this **** explain why in earth would you put stick on **** to a car that msrp for almost 50k

JAWNPAWN honestly bro...your an embarrassment to the lexus name. I will buy your car and give it to a homeless person so you can stop disrespecting it!
