Talking I found the cure for that brake dust!!

Matte Graphite Wheels



I wanted to add a pure OEM + F-sport look which is pretty different to what everyone else does with a LS. I went with a Skipper Design front carbon fiber bumper, rear carbon fiber diffuser and quad tips. I just have not decided if I want to paint the roof spoiler black or white. The front carbon fiber garnish I am not using as it has holes for a front plate which I don't have a need for.

For now, no issues with brake dust with the new 22x9 and 22x10.5 flow forming technology Vossen VFS-1's . This shows the brembo brakes nicely which are already painted gloss black by Lexus.

I understand this look is not for everybody but this is what I saw in my mind awhile ago. Next up is finding a nice side skirt, some suspension parts to beef things up and an exhaust. And maybe tint, my wife thinks I need tint.

Your car is looking very nice. I think the tint will enhance the look.

Those look SHARP, especially on the newer style LS!

Great job!

Another cure for brake dust is Akebono brake pads........They work better, dust less and last longer!

sweet... I will probably get the SMP VFS1... Haven't decided yet as I won't stagger the next set up, square biz for me. BTW, you don't need tint... Fishbowl FTW.

Very nice. You have good taste. I also ordered the skipper design front and rear pieces. Do you have pictures of the rear diffuser? Did you connect the light that it comes with?
