I have no idea what the IS250/350 pad numbers are.... Looks like they dont make them for you guys.

But.. The silver ones are good too. Oh, and FYI from the website!

Update 07.19.2012

The De-chroming has begun! First the sides, and then the grill. The prep work was a PITA! You can see the Wald replica spoiler in the first pic. Still not on.

I took off some of the tape and cover. It looks great. Can't touch it till tomorrow so I can be sure the paint is cured. But I'll take pics in a few of it completed on that one side.

Being scared is a good thing. It keeps you from getting cocky and not taking your time to do it right.
