Default Rear wheel Caliper, looks poor

hello everybody,
I just noticed my rear wheels while inspecting for dirt and damages,

Is this all what Lexus could put as look enhancers for rear wheel? Or my car has been rubbed :-)

Honestly, from a design perspective, the look of the brakes are my biggest pet peeve with the 4GS. They look pedestrian and could have easily made them look a lot better. Attached are the stock brakes from the Infiniti Q50/70 way more style.

Agreed. The F Sport front calipers are shamefully generic. The big flat spot on them is begging for a Lexus embossed logo and they should at least be painted/powdercoated. Don't know why Lexus decided to hide these big high performance brakes when the 19's make them stick out.
