I was able to take the stock retainer clips that is used on our interior to make work... Like these that I purchased in bulk when I had my GS and ISF... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nylon-Car-Door-Moulding-Trim-Panel-Retainer-Push-Clips-for-Toyota-Lexus-/311719437604?hash=item4893ed2524:g:0cwAAOSw8w1YAEnb&vxp=mtr

i didn't even want that much to protrude out. i was going as flat as possible and something that is easy to clean. no pop in rivets and have dirt stuck around the clip.

i installed my JDM E-brake pedal i had. matches the 2015 model perfectly. had to make a custom aluminum mount for it and used a bolt/nut with a flat head.






a pic of my illuminated door sills installed. they were a pain to take off. wiring it was easier to me than uninstalling these things. no clips broken though.




put on the black rays valve caps on the wheels. (not valve stems_). i'll see how well anodized black holds up. if they start wearing, i'll have to get the gunmetal version.





And one more pic of the Toms start button. very cool jdm piece.

I think the reason why I love your build so much is the amount of thought and time you put into it.

thanks man. i do put a lot of thought and visualize the final execution. some mods are installed will not look right until other things are bought and installed so its a long process for me. also, i don't have much time in my life to install stuff but i refuse to bring it anywhere for anyone else to do so. so what happens is i would just look at parts in my room while the days go by. lol. i have good friends that motivate me to hurry the hell up and do it , which helps big time.

Orange calipers finally came in. first time was damaged through shipping. they put a clear plastic on the faces of them so i left that on there for now until its installed. you get the idea. these things are massive off the car. light as well. ill have my black oem brembo calipers for sale . Pm if interested.

new oem rotors and pads are going on the front (going back to the stock pads and not the updated low dust pad). i might try to order Figs 2 piece rotors. i haven't received any calls back after leaving them a few messages and calling at least 10 times already. just want to make sure they are in stock.










Added a couple of more pics to show how massive these things are in person.

I've never seen such pretty and clean calipers.

I hope you have some low dust pads. Because keeping those things clean with the stock pads is going to be a chore.

I'm going to put a ceramic coat on them tonight while they are still off the car. i know, i think about the same thing. it's stressful. lol. i told myself, i will make it my weekly duty to clean my wheels and calipers once. easier said than done.

Andrew
Those Calipers came with the F logo? Looks good. Wanna see on your car man! I like it better than the Brembo stickers I put on mine.
Any chance you have a source to get the F logo? Dealer? I've never asked them. Guess I could...
