Caliper Covers and the Lexus Warranty
#1
MGP Caliper Covers
Anyone install these on a Lexus? I will admit here and now that I know next to nothing about working on cars. I'm more of the 'pull out the credit card and get someone else to do it' kinda guy. That being said, I am thinking about getting a set of MGP caliper covers for my 2013 GS and was thinking about attempting a DIY install.
Can anyone comment on how easy/difficult these caliper covers would be to install for a neophyte?

Caliper Covers and the Lexus Warranty
I have a new 2013 GS. Does anyone know if installing a set of caliper covers will void the warranty that came with the car?

Personal preference here but most "car people" think of the caliper covers as a tacky add on
Your new GS has pretty awesome brakes from the factory, IMO don't cover those babies up!

I'd look into exactly that (a quality high temp epoxy paint), or getting them powder coated.

Maybe start with a colored decal and see if that is enough

2 questions regarding the decals:
1. Will they peel off if the wheels are pressure washed?
2. Are they fairly easy to align properly and apply?

The stock calipers look nice the way they are, if you want to draw attention to them, find a local shop to paint them the color you like. To me it cheapens the car to paint them a loud color. Black, charcoal gray with a "Lexus" logo is fine. The covers don't look good IMO.
