Default calipers

I recently got a 2015 GSF. Trying to get some really nice calipers (red ones) any idea where I can get them? Don't want any covers.

Most people powdercoat the stock ones.

Kind of tempted to do that. Would like to keep everything the F Sport blue going. I like that blue pipe above, do the calipers in the front.

What else could you do?

Also, any suggestions on what type of film to get for window tinting? I know there is a thread, but results are all over the place. I'll probably do 50% front windows, and 35% for the rear half.

Talking Vossen CVT Gloss Graphite installed this week.

Just installed my Tanabe springs and Vossen CVT rims in gloss graphite this week. What do you guys think?

Wheel specs are 20X9 +32 (245/35/20) up front and 20X10.5 +45 (285/30/20) in the rear. Had to roll the fenders to prevent rubbing.

Also added Gloss Back vinyl wrap to the chrome trim around the front grill, lower bumper,fog lights and rear exhaust outlets.

I got mine tinted about a month after getting my car. I got 35% all the way around. the darker tint looks good on the nebula grey color. I know there is a risk of getting ticketed but i pass by cops all day everyday (live in OC and work by LAX) and I haven't had any issues *knock on wood*

Do electronic mods count?

With our app, Carista, you can do things like turn DRLs off, disable rear-shade roll-down in reverse, activate/deactivate blinking side markers when you lock/unlock, etc. (for an example list of customizable settings on a 2013 GS350, see: http://www.caristaapp.com/customizat...xus_gs350_2013 )

We just released an iOS version today So now, we've got you covered, regardless of whether you have an Android or iPhone. Check it out via the links in my signature!

Thanks.

Do you have any pics of the front wheels showing how flush the wheels sit to the fenders? I was told a 20x9 et32 has the potential to rub if lowered and especially if a wider tire is used upfront.

For now this is the best pic I have. I'll try to get one more close up later. But I haven't had any issues upfront.
