Not my style but it does look good. The only thing to keep in mind is you will need BBK or powder coat the calipers to really set it off.

Default Making your CALIPERS look as good as your new Wheels !

Pretty new wheels !

And now you can make your Calipers look as good as your new wheels - right in the convenience of your own home - and with EXTREMELY long-lasting results - for less than $38 !!!!!!!!!

If anyone wishes to read my original "HOW TO" on the G2 Brake caliper paint ....... which also includes 3 weblinks to How To videos .......

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/aut...-calipers.html

This HOW TO is entitled "You got new 'Wheels' - Now what do you do about your old brake calipers ?"

It is VERY detailed write-up that tells/shows you everything you need to know and do - including where to buy the G2 "system" at the lowest price we have learned of.

By the way, paying alot of money for brake caliper powder-coating:
A) involves you having your vehicle out of commission for about a week,
B) means removing and re-installing important LS460 parts
and
C) most importantly, means a VERY important component of your LS is subjected to EXTREMELY HIGH HEAT in a high temperature baking oven, which will very likely damage component parts of the caliper.
