that is clean!!! your best bet with a tte is to get a rep lol.

when people sell them you will find alot in the classified and when no one is selling there is NONE to be found.

what are the specs on the rims and tires they look like 20s and mild stretch tires. it looks good!! a nice lip tte lip would be a nice subtle addition to you car!!

Default Question on the Brake Caliper I am Looking At???

Hello there sir...I have a question for you on the brake caliper in the picture....I noticed it says Lexus on it which my factory calipers do not. So, where did you acquire those or is something different on mine I should be concerned about??? -Brian-

That decal can be purchased on ebay

If it truly was from factory, it would have better fitment on the caliper...


OP: my comment is not to knock on your pictures Looks awesome

Gotcha I will check out what decals they have available. I noticed a guy on here put on Toyota Supra brakes with Supra on the Caliper which actually looked pretty awesome. -Brian-

you also dont have that caliper setup....he did a semi BBK for our car, borrowing parts from another car in our "family"

the LS400 and the supra brakes can fit our cars, depending on your rim size with little to no modifications. and your other comment....the supra calipers say supra on them OEM. Brian, check this thread out, has alot of useful posts in it

BTW dont think i ever said welcome to our home sir....and to you OP


BTW OP cars looking good
