There's this new thing called google. "lexus fsport brake stickers".
Literally googled that,

I happened to use it for mine.

Maybe I should have been clearer though I thought it was implied. I was looking for a place to pick some up where some of you might have already done so and can vouch for their quality.Calipers get hot, and standard vinyl I don't think would hold up to the abuse. I thought I'd at least ask if anyone here has experience with a particular vendor/site and can vouch for it, rather than buy from a random place online.

I'd say my bad for not being more specific in my question, but also answered (thank you by the way) by stating clearly that you used your suggested link to order for your car. So perhaps my question was clear that I was looking for recommendations rather than a very general response.

All good, I ordered my silver ones from this site as well.
Hasn't melted. I do lots of highway driving. Plenty of hard braking.
Good product.

Decal Quality is good.... Sadly he cant do a mirror print so that the F Sport is the same direction from top to bottom.

So I painted mine over the weekend with G2 caliper paint. Everything came out perfectly except I got a small amount of paint on one of the rotors. How do you recommend I remove it? Should I use paint thinner?
