I'm going to put Brembo stickers on after the respray.
The F looks out of place and doesn't take up nearly enough place.
Lexus is meh. I mean, yeah we get it, it's a Lexus no need for extra badges. But I also hate badges.

Brembos are what they are, and I think it fills in the space the best and I love the font / logo.

That being said, it's up to you and what you like most.

To me, I prefer the Lexus decal. I don't mind the brembo because they are brembo brake calipers. The F logo decal just seems to not look right on brake calipers....

I prefer Brembo -> Lexus -> F Logo. Like many said, F logo looks way out of place. Lexus is alright but it makes it seem like they're just normal brakes. These bad boys are BREMBOS baby! xD

I vote for the Brembo decals.

That's what they are, plus most manufacturers don't rebrand these on their cars?! For example the new Range Rover Sport which has huge Brembo's up front with Brembo decals.

Brembo.. For sure. The f does look out of place (I'm a big fan of the F badge.. Infact I put one on my grill recently (some people don't like it there either, oh well)

Brembo decal exactly as shown in the first pic. If I had F decals I'd have to change my license plate to FFFFFFF

On a serious note, I would go with Brembo.

I was actually digging the F logo, but it isn't legit and reading some of the answers on this thread makes all the sense now! Brembo, is what they are indeed! To the members that have repainted and added the brembo logo...is this the hi temp vinyl stickers I see selling on EBay? Do you they peel off after time along with the repainted caliper color of choice? Just like the OEM paint chips off? Thanks in advance!

Had mine done over a year ago now.

Sourced from US eBay, not happy with the paint job, but no sign whatsoever of the decals peeling or discolouring at all.

When they are re-painted, will do the Brembo decals for sure.

Lexus. Brembo makes OEM brakes for Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and others and you don't see Brembo on their calipers; you see the manufacturer's name. Some domestic manufacturers, with a history of poor brakes and inferiority complexes, strongly promote the OEM Brembo offerings and that's kind of how I see IS-F owners replacing Lexus with Brembo. Anyone who is truly knowledgeable about these cars know they come with Brembo brakes. For those that don't, does it really matter in the scheme of things?

Ken.
