RX350 Caliper Covers

I was pretty disappointed that the F Sport edition didn't have a Brembo option, so I was thinking about getting the closest thing to one. Has anyone installed them on an RX350? So far on this forum, I have seen GS and IS install them but not the RX line. Most of the other comments on the forum are other users ragging on the person who has them asking why they didn't just buy a big brake kit (BBK)

 

 

Thanks! It's nice to see how it would look on a RX. I might have to paint the caliper red first so it looks more uniform.

You had no problems so far? (Loose, bad milling or paint job, etc?)

 

I saw these at my dealership. Wondering if we could get either for the RX. I really like the orange ones.

 

You probably recognize this, but just making sure that folks know those are real OEM 'big brakes' on the cars pictured, and not cosmetic caliper covers.

If you just want the color, you can get high temp caliper paint to get your existing calipers painted or go the faux big brake look with covers. If you put big brakes on the RX, be aware there are likely going to be additional implications with wheel clearance (may need new wheels or spacers), increased consumable cost for pads, rotors, etc. often have increased braking noise and more dust on your wheels.

 

I have not ever used this, but saw posted on another model forum so might be another option you could consider

 

Just put Nokian Hakkapelitta 9 studded tires

and new wheels on (Alaska) and the calipers stand out, wondering if anyone has added MGP caliper covers and had any issues? Thanks

 

Does anyone know where I might acquire some caliper covers for a 2017 Lexus RX350, with 18” wheels. I want it to read Lexus on it, red.

 

DON'T! Calipers, need cooling and any cover will increase the cooling time by a lot and consequently braking performance.
If you must change the colour, get them painted.

What dealership carry aftermarket items?

 

Here is a thread on painting RX calipers. Mine are the yellow ones.
