Default New Shoes - Pics

A few pics of my new shoes. I don't think I've posted any pics of the exterior of my car before. And, before the bashing about the caliper covers starts up, I wanted to make everything easily returnable to stock, because I want to get the 4th gen some time in the future.

Nice shoes, look a good fit too.
Personally, I'd have preferred the bolts (genuine 3-piece or not) to be less obvious - a muted silver or matching gloss black.
The BBC (big brake cover) looks just fine, although red is a bit played out now.

Rims look great, and as far as the caliper covers I don't blame you, especially I'd you're planning on returning it to stock anytime soon

Looks good. Don't know if I like the black windows on the wheels though. I think it would look a lot better if the face was all silver.

Nice wheels! What are the specs on those? Diameter, width, offset? Also, what tires are you running?

Thank you for the mostly positive feedback. The wheels are Rohana RC20 and I'm running 20x9 and 20x10. 245/35/20 front, and 275/30/20 Falken FK452 in the rear. The caliper covers are by MGP and can be found in many places, but here is their website. http://www.calipercovers.com/
The wheels I got from one of our vendors, who was an A+ in customer service. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...and-bonus.html
