Painted "LEXUS" Calipers...

I couldn't sleep, so I decided to go out to the garage and snap a shot of my newly painted calipers. Great job by Elite Customs. Mike and Dale are known for their skill. Although you cant tell from my calipers, they've done a lot of work for STL celebs like rappers Nelly and Chingy. They smoked my taillights and reflectors, but you'll have to wait to see them tomorrow...it's too friggin cold outside!

First, they sprayed them silver. Then, Mike took a pic of my Lexus emblem on the back, shrunk it, and made vinyl stickers out of it. He layed the sticker in place, then shot the calipers in black. Peeled the stickers, then clear coated.

Not really a mod, but it adds a bit of uniqueness to my IS350 I think.
