Where is everybody getting the Lexus decal at to properly fit the caliper?
I have ordered like 3 sets of decals from e-bay and none of them have the right curve to them.

Check the classifieds often. there is a set on there now unless they have sold. Mine was near new condition, even the pads, but chose to buy new ones anyway.

Mine were purchased brand new from Lexus. My friend works there and got them new with his 40% discount lol. Then brand new rotors and pads from Autozone.

The stickers were a no go. tried them today after i put on the extended studs in the rear. the front ls400 lip did not allow the sticker to set in place right. the rear caliper stickers wil work but is didnt put them on due to installing the tt calipers soon. didnt want to waste quality stickers. Sorry the stickers didnt work. Will keep looking.

Calipers, pads, hardware, and rotors. make sure to get the ls400 caliper bolts cause the sc400/300 bolts are too long,and will hit the rotors on the inside. i chose to use a flat washer and some blue loctite. worked great!!
