New CL user! Been reading for a while but finally made an account. Pretty new to modding also. Didn't get much help from the 3GS users so hopefully 2IS can do better

Has anyone bought these Lexus Caliper Decals and do they look good? Or where did you get yours?

Also does anyone paint their lugs to match their caliper? with the same caliper paint? Would it chip ever off? Pics would be nice

 

i have them on my IS350..
mine are the other way around lol

 

i did a quick search and seem's people buy them from a ton of sites. I saw this one come up several times when searching... just apply some clear coat to the decal to protect them http://motogfx.com/lexus/

 

Hmm I am thinking of putting just the Lexus "L" for the rears. I think that is what others do since it is quite a small caliper.

 

Yeah it's just the L logo for the rears .

 

I got mine from Motogfx.

 

I was about to say "they look a little different." Should do it the way everyone else has it. Not to conform but rather looks better IMO.

I would also put the "L" logo in the rears. Im waiting to get new discs so i can pair red caliper with Drilled and Slotted discs...

 

Yes the paint on lug nuts will chip

 

I got mine from an ebay seller. Standard high-temp 3M sheet labels. Installed them over new Duplicolor caliper black paint with high temp clear coat over the stickers to help it not to peel off. Except for the few dings where I'm sure Lexus and Discount Tire accidentally dinged the caliper paint from removing/installing the wheels, they still look new. The job I did looked so good, I've had several friends in town say that they thought the stickers were factory.

 

+1 for MotoGFX. I wouldn't bother putting decals on the rear though. Don't want to draw too much attention to how small they are.

 

I got the curved ones pictured above on my SC. I, too, have duplicolor black calipers and red vinyl, and the stickers are awesome. This picture isn't the best, but its the closest I have.

and here's a link to the eBay ones I bought. The rear "L" Lexus logo wouldn't fit on the rear calipers anywhere, so I just put them on the rear quarter window, haha

Normally do they paint all 4 or just the fronts?
Spray paint them or the ones with a paint brush??? Which is better?

 

Try this:
Link is for red

 

are they snap ons?

 

Usually all 4. Most people seem to use the paint brush G2 kit. Try searching the forums for more info.

The decals? They're decals, so basically stickers.
