Not feeling the green. It would probably work if your car was modded accordingly. It's too flashy for stock

yeap.

why make an OEM part noticeable? it's OEM, nothing fancy/special. I personally would have either just left it as is; or if there was just that "itch" to do a mod, paint it black with at most the Lexus stickers.

that's fine if the OEM part looks good- but open faced stock calipers on the NA supras and lexus scs look terrible.

slapping a brembo sticker on your STOCK calipers and painting them doesn't really make them new.....

Thats funny... but yeah, I feel sc300s don't suite the younger brighter colors imho. Especially on such puny stock brakes. Good paint job though!

it needs a few more supporting mods before the green can start looking good.
