Default "F" high temp caliper stickers/decals

I tried to do a search before I posted this both within this forum as well as on google. I am planning on having my calipers refinished (in a color other than black) and would like to replace the current lexus name and logo with the "F" logo that is found on the '16+ RCF and GSF. Does anybody know of somewhere that I may be able to source this?

I number of us in the ISF forum have done this. But I know of no one who has put the "F" logo on the calipers. We have used Brembo decals. After all the calipers are Brembo, not Lexus. a pic of mine is attached.

See this thread:

I decided to go with Brembo artwork as well after painting them red.

Thanks all. Yes I had considered the Brembo as these are readily available but, in comparing the two (for me) I just liked the "F" more. I may end up having to go the Brembo route as I haven't really been able to find what I want. I did find these after searching the interwebs but, they don't quite hit the mark when compared with the factory. They just look like "imitations" for some reason. I'd go with Brembo before I'd go with these. It's probably in this order for me:

1. 16+ F Logo
2. Brembo official logo
3. '15 Lexus and L logo

The decal on the orange looks pretty spot on to me. I just went and looked at my calipers and they look the same.

the orange is factory (oem) the black is ebay. I reposted the orange in order to compare side by side.
