Man that is a good color choice. I don't know why Lexus went with black. I would have preferred silver, gunmetal or even gold.. I may get mine powder coated within the next few months..

Going for gold as of right now! Not too bad of a kit so far, apply 1st coat vigorously (don't worry about brush marks, when it dries up like this it will help bond the next coating which you should apply a lot more generously, we use this same technique when sealing aircraft with sealant obviously), then per the directions wait between coats don't try to Picasso the parts just yet, it will drip if your applying with a brush and you'll want to smooth out the runs after a few minutes so you'll kinda flip flop between parts. Overall, I got two kits, I used the majority of one on the rear calipers and figs rotor hats, I had about 1/4 leftover after 1 light initial and 3 very generous coats (even started on the front calipers but had to go to bed). Still trying to decide my wheel center color..

I bought the f sport brakes for both of my is350 and Isf, they are in blue and look amazing. I did have to buy another set of is350 hubs in the front to fit the f sport brakes on my isf.

K20- they are figs/rb rotors, they save a all around 27 lbs I think.

Here's the new rear stance/ color!

Like the color, but your "F" is not straight

It was a one-piece stencil, not 2 different ones.
They don't look misaligned to me.
