Default Anyone with Green Calipers?

I was curious if anyone has done the G2 High Gloss Lime Green Caliper Paint?

More particularly, on a Blacked out IS.

I see the standard colors (Blue, Red, Yellow), but I was thinking of changing it up a bit.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Awesome! Thanks man! Now to just figure out how to jack up the entire car to do this. Side to side or Front to back?

Front to back and use 4 jack stands on the pinch welds. If you have some hockey pucks kicking around, even better.
Here's a thread to give you a few tips and tricks: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ift-point.html

Thanks Sasnuke! My jack did not reach the jack point on the front, so I did it on the pinch welds with a rubber slot guide on the jack. To lift the rear, do I continue doing the pinch welds one by one on either side or see if I can get the rear center spot? Apologies for all the newbie questions, learning as I go (probably shouldn't be on a Lexus XD)

Once you have the front in place and stable you can use the central jacking point on the rear and lift the entire back up at once.
