Yes please NO retro American Muscle car colors....


Cary, how are those RAYBESTOS rotors holding up???

Also, are they non-directional like the OEM Brembos??

Thanks

hmm... then what other colors are there???

as for the raybestos, they're doing ok... they don't have the bite or grip that i want though. not sure if it's the pads or the rotors...

i don't track the car or drive like i used to so it's a bit hard to say how they would work when they're up to a good temp... amd it i remember right they are non-directional...

Hey does that shop I took my car to offer rear pads? I think my rears are squeaking. Hopefully they're not the fronts since I just got them done recently.



BTW, for color...do Orange! Lambo's metallic orange looks f'ng amazing.

for those ISF owners who wanted to install the turn signal mirrors from Nigel...
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...or-thread.html
here's how it's done...
just a super quick explanation...

the one on the left is stock, the right is from nigel:


just get a dremel and start grinding!!!


should start looking like this...i had to grind a little more and i made a lip like the stock one as well... you kinda get the pic right???


i'll post pics of the finished product later... it was night when i did it so pics on my phone didn't come out...

Is that from the group buy in the regular IS forum? What about the wiring? A lot of work?

no, i got it from nigel a while back...just was lazy to put them on
finally did it this past weekend but didn't have time to wire it up
i'm sure the wiring won't be a problem (i used to be a stereo installer and used to do these kinds of wiring all the time)...

here's the finished product:
