Default Guys having my calipers powder coated any ideas on colors and logos?

Just as the title says having all my calipers removed on my new 13 gs350 F sport trying to figures out a color and what to have engraved on them.

So far the colors i am down too is "ISF blue" or "Brembo Red", and for the label i was thinking Lexus like they did on the ISF with the L circled in white any ideas welcome my car is White on Red interior and will have CV3 Vossen wheels on it in Silver soon.

I like the blue.. This is what a shop did for me on my old IS350. I never got to putting a "lexus" sticker on the caliber though.
I also had the stock rims powder coated.. not quite as dark as the GS-F stock rims, but very close.

fsport has brembo calipers?! when did that happen? i know the rotors are larger, but all 4gs has 2 piece rotors. regular 4gs calipers are also 4 pots.

if they are like 3gs where they have "aftermarket" fsport brakes from stoptech that's complete full upgrade, that's a very different story

did some study on part numbers. fsport seems to have different piston size (at least from awd), but the caliper shape and everything is just the same, and they don't look like brembo at all

Looking for something like this?



I've been working with Matt from MotoGFX to get the size dialed in right.

I'm planning to do mine next monday.

For the RWD F-Sport at least, the front wheel calipers are different and the front rotors are larger (14") vs the 13" on the non-F-Sport.
