Can't agree this time, lime + usb = great combo ) Should work for white and obsidian too.

I dont really care about the warranty. Besides al futtaim service is terrible because thats not my first lexus. They take out bolts and pins from the car and when you ask them, they say you have to buy the whole panel. Fu*kem. I service the car in a garage. Its Cheaper and i can watch em when they touch MY car. I feel better this way hahaha

Orange is trending these days but for a white car I would go for White calipers with Lexus decals and get Akebono pads you won't see dust for 10 days at least.

For those of you that paint your calipers are you spraying high temp clearcoat over the decals? I have seen a few older posts regarding this but was wondering how the paint reacts with the decals.

Also, is there a preferred place to purchase the F Sport decals?

TIA
