WOW! That looks amazing! I've seen a few calipers on cars where their paint has faded away. How do you ensure that paint on calipers dont fade away over time?

Nice. Personally i would have just put the lexus logo written out. I know it's been done over and over. No offense but it's like frontin. Like putting M logo on a 325. We all know they make f sport brakes. Just food for thought.

That looks amazing aquguam!

Can you specify what exact color you used for the paint? Do you happen to have the color code?

Also, as others asked, where did you get that F-Sport logo from?

Love the look of your overall car. Thank you for sharing sir.

I don't even have a IS, lol. I was just curious though because if I ever decide to purchase one - this is exactly what I wanted to do to mine.

Also, copying shouldn't even be an issue - it's not like he's in the same city, state, or even COUNTRY as us
