Cool Ls4 bbk....... Done

Greetings CL... Well I decided to complete my LS4 BBK install today. I've had the calipers sitting around for a while now. I finally got a set of rotors from "brakeperformance.com"... The rotors are SICK..... I went ahead and painted the calipers red with the "LEXUS" logo in black. The logo has been painted on... Not a sticker...I can tell you the simple process if you want it.... But here are a few before and after pics... I haven't had a chance to properly clean the "BEAST" as yet (" Its dark and the mosquitoes here in Florida are VIOLENT " I'll definitely have fully detailed by tomorrow though... I'll update with more complete pics then.... ENJOY!!!

This is the before conversion pic:

12k fogs?!? Impressive!

The setup looks excellent and the Lexus logo is clean. I'm actually about to do the same upgrade...just hope my wheels will clear it, otherwise I may have to put it off and find some bigger wheels first! Regardless, hopefully it turns out as nice as yours

Hey thanks man... I was worried about my wheels clearing as well... I have a little bit more than an 8th of an inch of clearance.... If you have an SC this is a mandatory upgrade... Go for it... You'll love it!!!

The rotors are from a 1996 LS400. You can use 1995-1999.

It looks good. There are so many of these on here. They say its night and day difference on the brake pedal feel and the stopping. I tried it, but my aftermarket wheels wouldnt clear them. That was a bummer. How did you do the Lexus emblem on the caliper, How much for the rims?
