Since you have a 350, just get a caliper paint kit, lexus decal and call it a day...... looks nice to if done right. saves you money than a caliper cover

Your car... do what you like. But a lot of people here will advise against this... including me.

Don't turn it into a Honda with fake turbos, Blow-off valves, fake intercoolers, etc

I would save up and get a real BBK instead of faking it. People can tell when they look at it. They'll laugh at your car.

Just paint you calipers and slap a Lexus sticker on it. It will look much better than caliper covers.

What a Joke.......buy the G2 Caliper paint and buy a Lexus decal on ebay and call it DONE! It's a 350, and has a big enough brake already. Don't front!
