Default USB Painted Calipers

Looks like they did a good job. What do you guys think of the "Lexus F" decals he used?

They're still black on the inside where the pistons are. What a lot of effort for a second rate job. But hey, it looks good to anyone from a distance.

If that's how he does his own stuff, I'd be worried about having them do something for me.

I like the color, but agree with the half rate job. I also did not care for the new decal placement on the driver front side...looks backwards to me.

from the guy who posted the video lol

@mattdaman666 i did do it right. Its perfect. **** taking them off if i dont have to and i didnt want to. Even if i did, some dumb **** would say something about that too, you guys always have something to say from your armchair. What i dont understand is why it worries you so much? You can clearly see its a perfect paintjob. Go find something else to worry about, like your own car. I got this.

I like the color as well. I believe it looks better than the original black color. I waxed the **** out of mine and they look great but seem to blend in too much being black.

The F logo looks good on both the front and rear. Color looks spot on with the USB.

They look good. Masking off the whole car was a bit overkill imo.
