I wanted to do mine in a Gold/Red Lexus decals like the G35 Brembo setup. Car is TP and I have 09 polished wheels on it.

Thoughts?

thanks! I had a friend do it actually I dont know what brand of paint but from what I hear its super difficult to locate ... I am actually having them repainted in a couple weeks. originally I thought he would take the calipers off but he hung them and painted them. now I am having them done right!

Im not really a fan of gold, but the red would look nice on your car. Its up to you though!

If the car had suspension/19s I could definitely see it pulling off the "attitude" of the Gold brakes. Stock not so much.

I'll probably just do black/white decals and call it a day.

Those are not caliper covers. Those are stock IS350 calipers painted, with a decal on them. You can buy the decal from here:

I just painted mine black on a SFP 350. I added the decals and cleared over with high temp engine clear. I used Dupli-Color brush on caliper paint. Easy job!
