They look nice, i suggest you change the brake pads since the dust will cover em fast

And get you some "Lexus", or "F-Sport" stickers to put on there. You can get them very inexpensive, and think they look good. Several colors you can choose from on them as well.

Andysvette, check out G2, as they have lots of colors (including the blue you are probably looking for), and are extremely high quality. Website is g2usa.com

JunLi, how long have you had it spray painted?
I heard that spray paint cannot resist the heat, so it peels off after about a year???
I heard that we have to hand paint using ceramic paint which is more heat resistant?
