Hey Guys,

In Oct 2014 I picked up a 2013 White ISF, 24,000km (14,000 Miles)

First Photo

Shortly after I got the tint done 20% and decided the calipers needed a lick of paint. The Previous owner had painted them red but left the face black and it wasn't the best job.

Last weekend I decided to add some more bass just to round out the stock system which IMO is pretty good. Added 2 x Kicker Hideaways

Very nice subwoofers! Never saw one of those before, also interested for some review
Great job on the calipers too, they look way better than before.

That caliper color is downright beautiful, especially on white.
Very nice choice.

Thanks for the comments,

Calipers - I used 2 PAC paint, There is about 5-6 layers of colour then 3 layers of clear over the top of eveything including the decals.

The subs round out what I would call a good OEM feel, They dont rattle the car to bits but still provide plenty of punch. The other huge plus for me was their very small size so it didn't mean I would loose much if any bootspace.

Whats next?
Installed my dashcam yesterday and it will be off to get a full custom exhaust in a few weeks.

Very nice. Great color choice for the car and calipers.

Who did the install for the subs and what all was needed?

Thanks mate, I did the install myself and used the loom/harness that came with the subs and tapped into the hi gain speaker output from the stock ML amp in the boot.

Few Pics of the dashcam, Took a mini cig lighter USB charger and stripped it down, Took the USB off and hard wired the micro usb in. Taped into the 12V from the rear view mirror.

the "LEXUS" on the calipers are just plain stickers?
do you need to spray top coat on the calipers after sticking the "lexus" sticker?

Correct, Had some vinyl stickers cut, Put the clear coats on after the stickers were applied.
