Looks great chap.

Just got to decide what colour to change my calipers too!

Obvious choice is to find a similar navy blue to the band on the Wedsports, and use white decals (think I will run Brembo this time as opposed to Lexus ones).

I really like Kawasaki green, and think it would work well with the SGM, but the blue on the rims would look odd if I did go that route.

Be interested to know what you guys would choose??

Thanks.

That was the theme I was going for when I had them done.

trouble is the guy did them a flat orange, not the glossy orange on the special edition ISF.

Touché!

I like the fact I not only have the most modified IS-F in the UK, but I have unique headlights that don't look like they came from an Audi!

Horses for courses fella.

So I'm still looking at my options for re-painting my brake calipers.

Safe option is to try and match the blue ring colour from the wheels, and add white decals.

I really love the boldness of Kawasaki green though!

I really think it would work well with the SGM paintwork,and the gunmetal of the SA67R's, but the blue band may look odd?

Here's an example of the green:



And to save going back to the first post, here's my car as it sits now:



Welcome some opinions/thoughts.

Like the color but not sure how it would match with the blue trim ring of the weds.

What about getting blue brembo stickers to place (precisely) on top of the current application. Then you've got the blue accent on the caliper..then, put orange lug nuts to match the caliper on the wheel...sounds crazy I know.

I love Weds but never really liked the color schemes. They especially wouldn't work with my MRM. I do think they look good on white/black/silver/grey and possibly blue cars though. That said, I'd personally go with the safe option, matching the blue of the wheels. The green looks great against the gloss black of the lambo, but I don't think it would have the same effect on your car.

Agreed.

Hopefully they can get a close match to the blue band of the Wedsports.

I've already lined up some White Brembo decals.

Just need to save up some more cash to get them done!

Doesn't sound crazy at all chap.

Having spent $250 on the black lug nuts, I'd rather keep them if I can!

Think I'll go the safe route, and get the calipers done in a similar navy blue to the Weds band.
