Default Ikon 3M reflective brake caliper vinyl wrap
Not a lot of buzz on this. I only came across one thread where someone tried this. Anybody using this application? Looks different for sure and inexpensive. It may be worth trying and they offer a lot of color options. Here they are on a Mercedes. Here is the only thread where someone with a 3IS did this. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...50-brakes.html

So the wrap can withstand 400+ degree temps? I've measured my rear calipers reaching 360 degrees before after some hard stops on the street to test out my new infrared temp gun. Not sure if this would be good for all of those folks, like me, that can be known to be hard on their brakes.

That looks sick. But it will have a IKON logo?

NVM just noticed that the website has wraps without the logo

Awesome! I'll be on the lookout for it. I may just get the wrap and have a local sign company do it for me.

These look really easy to install on the IS350 stock BBK.

Good info and probably pass on doing the rears. The front calipers on the IS350's aren't bad at all. This may not be to frustrating to complete.

doesn't look to bad on the install. seems to be forgiving and is thick to contour the angles of the caliper.

This is a great option might give it a shot when I put my oem wheels back on.
