Tim,
Those look great. I love those Zenetti Fives on your ride. Keep up the good work.

So they are just plain vinyl stickers? Or are the made of some sort of more durable material. The brakes get awfully hot at times, I wonder just how long these things will last. I love the look though.

Want to know how they're holding up?Click here to read from people that are using them. Some been having them for 2 years and they're still look good.

Thanks, are there caliper specific paint kits, or will any high temp paint work?

Those look good. It's pretty sweet that Jeff had such a quick response and went out and created those for you. I'm looking forward to picking those up as soon as my car comes in.

tim, did you paint your calipers black? I think the original color of our calipers are grey, maybe the black or carbon fiber decal look would look good against the grey with my black exterior. Don't realy want to paint the calipers. Your car looks great by the way.

They're black. On the flat surface where I put the sticker they are. The outside look a lil grey but still dark black. I don't think Black decal will be notiable.

I don't think any sticker will fit on the rear break, they're alot smaller than the front.
By the way, i saw Brushed Aluminum color that he has. I think it'll match the stock wheels or silver aftermarket wheels

Yea, unfortuantely, the rear caliper does not have a good spot for a decal. I also see that you have a 250, that is a different front caliper as well, but you can get a decal for those.

The IS250 brakes are different from the IS350. The 250 has the smaller silver calipers and the 350 has the larger black ones with a smooth front.

Like the look!! I may have to order a set for mine.
