What type of paint did you use?

 

Is that the stock caliper on a gs300 ?? I seem to recall my GS300 front caliper being smaller ???

 

GS350s come with larger calipers, like those of the 430. The GS300s come with the dinky "I need BBK" brakes.

 

So that does not answer my question, south africa has a gs300, i dont think my caliper looks like that at all.....

 

that is the stock one, like a frikkin loaf of bread, what a pita to clear it for the wheels. dont think you could realisticaly (sure i spelt that wrong lol) fit a bigger one on, so i guess they are the upgraded ones.

it is painted with a high heat enamel spray paint, takes about 20 to complete both sides.

eyekutr, from what iv been able to find out, the cars released here are slightly different in terms of specs than the US?? EG the LS comes standard with everything, no options as such, they automatically included everything in order to break into the markey.

bmw and mb are HUGE in this country.

dealership told me that since launching the is/gs/ls, they have sold more cars in the last 12 months than in the previous COMBINED 13 years.

 

It is interesting that the non-US GS300 comes with the larger brakes, I wonder if the 06 non-US did also, probably not. They probably wanted to reduce the different parts they use at the plant.

What amazes me is the number of different lines of GS there actually are....
There is a Right sided drive, Left sided
Then there are dashes with KM as main units, versus Miles, then there are non-leather interiors (i think the mideast, maybe greece has this option)
Then there are non-sunroof versions....
anyways, I am glad you have the better brakes, safer for you, eventhough harder to clear the calipers with non-OEM wheels.

I would love to install those from a GS350 on my car.

 

mine is a right hand drive, no sunroof, km is main display, new generation screen.

 

Dude....you have non-perforated leather seats !!! SO you dont have seat vents....hmm

 

would that be good or bad?

but actually they are , think its just the angle of the pic.

im thinking of making/puting a black carpet in, it impossible to keep the light grey clean and maybe the seats as well
opinions please.

the car has started to develope a two-tone look - silver paint/black windows, silver/graphite combo on the wheels etc etc. so i am think of doing it inside, 1. for practicality 2. looks.

the other forum members black roof is also calling me very loudly....

 

It's a 300?!? I thought it was a 350 this whole time.

 

I like the new color better.

 

makes me think if the 07 caliper would fit on an 06... anyone wanna try?

 

I would assume you need to get the larger rotors and calipers but it should bolt right on and be fine, I doubt the master cylinder is any different, I will try if anyone gets BBK for their GS350 or GS430
