I AGREE! HA

Clean F, Rick. Did they drill the holes for the front plates? Don't they have white plugs?

Yea I'm still kinda bummed about those 2 front holes - they are rather large too!

I was going to have my body shop fill them but that means I have to clear bra the entire front bumper again? damn lose/lose situation!

May try white plugs or perhaps a "euro" plate? haha

I'm doing the "egg/yolk" look on this car same as my GT3 but didn't feel comfortable powdercoating the stock calipers "yet" so went the reverse effect:

Good question, only time will tell but can't hurt to try

Well our IS-F calipers are from Brembo right? Actually I wanted the Lexus logos duplicated in yellow but no one seemed to have the image so I decided to use the Brembo's instead. Turned out pretty nice as I had a buddy over last night and he said damn "you don't waste time and already swapped out the brakes"! (little does he know...haha)


FIGS: Thanks buddy ~ still waiting for your custom front grill

Uh... Is that a black decal that you used to cover the "Lexus", and then you stuck the brembo decal on top of that?

I will be the first to admit this car will NEVER see the race track - maybe a drag strip but that's it so don't think the brakes will ever get that hot. This car is my daily driver / family car

My bike is the only thing that will ever see the track these days!
