Default Finally installed my IS350 brakes.

After having these calipers laying around for a couple of months. I finally bought the OEM 350 rotors and brake pads to upgrade the tiny IS250 brakes to IS350 brakes.

I don't really know many people besides Rob, Erick with the silver GS and his cousin Long with the white GS.

I pieced everything together myself. Actually I have to thank Rob with the white CFed out 250. He helped me with finding some of the parts.

No way I sport my 250 with pride, just wish there was something that would make the 6MT's stand out. Kind of like the accord V6's 6 speed, they come with the V6 chrome with red to indicate they are a 6 speed model.

Nice. I like the black too. Keeps it OEM'ish looking. I want to do this too eventually, how much it set you for? I know it's going to be pricey.

just curious about something, the caliper does not come painted right, i assume you have to do that yourself, and if so does anyone know how much it cost? not many 350s in chicago, my friend has one but its been garaged all winter =X

I really could not give you an accurate amount as to how much it would run you. I got the calipers for free from my friends wrecked 350 and I bought brand new OEM rotors and brake pads from a local member.

They come painted but not gloss black. They come satin black, I sanded them down then applied high temp primer after that high temp gloss black and let them cure for about a week. After that week I applied the decals and cleared over them with high temp clear coat.
