Low dusting pad update
Ok it's been more than 2 weeks since the pads were put on. This is one mod that's definitely worth the effort! I have not washed the car since the pads were put on and I have logged a little over 1000 miles since. Here is a pic that I took yesterday @ lunch. Sorry about the lousy camera phone pic. 
BTW, you see a little shadow on the wheels so it's not brake dust. The wheels are super clean!

I completely agree. And although I can't speak for other makes, I can say Infiniti never would have treated this situation the way Lexus did (i.e., new pads cause the olds ones were too dirty). Heck, Infiniti kept telling me it was normal for their brake pads to squeak and squeal on a 5 month old G35x. And that was just one of many problems.

12K or less miles for TSB - My dealership
Had the TSB applied to our IS last week no dust,
I’m having the TSB applied to the GS today should work pretty good. We did find out one thing from our dealership that the TSB is for 12K or less miles on the original pads.

My GS350 AWD is in for the pad update today. The service guys said, "Gotta warn you; the no-dust pads squeal." That's the first time I'd heard the trade-off was "dust or squeals."
I said, "Do it!"
We'll see how it goes. I'm driving the ES loaner tonight.
