If your interior is R. Red, go with red. If it's black, then blue, white, or light gray will work but not sure I'm feeling lime green would suit a Lexus as much as it would a Civic.

hmmm love the orange, and honestly my first choice was white but with the amount of brake dust the IS generates it will need a daily wash or it will look ugly

honestly black & gray would be my last choice since it is metallic gray now and it is close to both these colors, was trying to look different

And my worry with blue is that it wont fit in since my color combo is red and black

Im done with that problem long time ago, go for ceramic brakes from akebono ACT1391(Rear) & ACT1118(Front) they are the same price and maybe less. no brake dust what so ever and i have a gloss silver rim. try it.

Thanks for the Advice, how do they perform? as good as stock? because I like the bite of of the stock very aggressive and knowing ceramic it is usually dull when still cold.

Well they are more than good and i dont usually go race-mode when the engine/brake are cold so i dont how dull they are but its worth it in my case (the no dust issue). Even with the stock wheels, you will feel the color difference and you dont have to wash them every 3 days.

Saw these in person, they look really good.

What type of paint did you go with? I want to go with blue since my interior is black.

its an ark grip dual catback. its loud but not annoying. The car is just a V6 so you dont have to worry about constant humming. bottomline, it amazing. i love it.

I dont take much photos for the car but soon i will. sorry

But aren't you concerned about warranty? since you know how Futaim is in UAE, are they ok with the exhaust?
