nah, don't do that, just paint your calipers red or go supra TT bbk setup route--cheap and great performance.

It wouldnt look good, I wouldnt be surprised if they fell off while driving. I am all for painting the stock calipers, I would go black or silver, I wouldnt do red on oem calipers though.

Boo on the fake brakes.. Ftl!! Those are something i would do just to clown like put them on a ford fiesta or something like that but not on a lexus.. Dont fake the funk.. Just clean and paint the calipers.. Something like that is just a waste of money.. And you would get clowned on more than respected for them i believe..

Brake caliper stickers:

I had this set on my black painted calipers until I found some curved ones. Can't remember where I found the curved ones.

No way... don't do it. Like everyone said, just paint your stock calipers or go with SupraTT brakes. Besides, people will be able to tell immediately those are fake Endless brakes when they see your small rotors.
