Hey Lex luga, i have a 06 gs300 as well, i wanted to get BBK but i want to use my oem wheels in the winter (chicago winter), so i want calipers that would also work with my 17inch wheels and you seem to have found a good solution...now was the gs350 brake calipers a simple swap or did you have to do anything else for it too work?
PS car looks great. mines the same color as well.

Well after looking at my last post, I laughed because this summer I got megan rear camber and toe arms installed, rear fenders slightly pulled and repainted, so I could go real low without rubbing, but I havent gotten to lowering the rear more (time to learn how to DIY with my friends in the spring time?).
This fall i purchased 18x8.5 G-Spider wheels non-staggered and 25mm ichiba spacers (for the rear wheels) for my winter set up.
I almost blacked out the headlight housing and retrofitted projectors (regular single beam, not bmw halos) into the drl/parking light housing but, found out the projectors would not work properly due to the parking lights and would just be for show (i don't know why it wouldn't work, but my dream, as well as this project was crushed!).
Currently I am looking for a used tanabe medallion exhaust and I would like to pair it with a K&N drop intake filter, but I don't think they make them for the 06 3GS, someone correct me if I am wrong. I think this combo on a 07 gs350 sounded great, and would like something that sounds similiar on a 06 gs300. I like how it has a classy yet not too aggressive sound.
Anyway here are some "Amateur Night at the Apollo" droid photos of the winter set up.
notice the liquid graphite color, not silver
def looks wider with the spacers

some engine high temp clear coat just incase the calipers get real hot on a scorching day. But honestly you probably don't even need clear coat like that..the regular one will probably do just fine.
