i don't think those are brake covers.. i think they're actual brakes painted red with the f sport decal over it.. one of the 3IS members on the forum did exactly that.

My original plan was to do that but I thought I could find em like this like the caliper cover. Ill be getting to work on it this week
there's a DIY out there i think.. from what i recall, most members did about 3 coats, and the most important thing is to do a wide spread, not concentrated and also give it enough time to cure and dry.. don't rush it..

Good stuff thanks bro for your input dude, anyone know what paint in particular? or it really doesn't matter? I need to know where to get that paint like locally, im a little tired of ordering online already lolol.
Are the brake sizes for the rear the same between the IS250 and IS350? Also, you would need to buy bigger rotors correct?
i want to say the 350 and 250 rears are the same though i could be wrong, go to MyLParts.com and compare the rears. also, yes, since you're upgrading to the 350 larger calipers you would need to get the front rotors. expect a front oem set to cost around 300-320.

yeah there is a specific brake paint which can help withstand the heat and road debris. i would go to your local auto parts store to look for it.

where can i buy calipers from? and also is it ok to replace just front ones?
To get a full IS350 front brake setup (which is all you need) you would go to rock auto and get...
p/n 193337 - left caliper - $130
p/n 193336 - right caliper - $130
p/n 980918 - left rotor - premium - $69
p/n 980917 - right rotor - premium - $69
and either
p/n 30911180 - stoptech street performance pads -pair $42 for best performance
or
p/n ACT1118 - Akebono Ceramic pads - pair $48 for low dust - less performance
