Someone please report this driver to Lexus Care. Obviously he is not taking care of car (mind body and coul).

No need to say that stock caliper painting are ricey, it's a given thing.

Well, not REALLY. I've seen plenty of nicely-painted stock calipers on the forums. I've also seen a blue onyx IS with yellow calipers, and it looked ok. I agree with Phillip, the yellow calipers are ok here, but the fogs are too much. The calipers might look even better with some black stickers, or under some new rims.

I agree with the others, the yellow doesn't fit SGM. I think a deep red would look good.

Is something going on with your front brakes?..No not the paint color..
In the second to last pic the rotor looks like it is wearing oddly..or maybe you just got some crude in there when painting..

BTW..gotta agree with the majority on the yellow on SMG..not lovin it

But its your car..so if it floats your boat..more power to ya

at first i wasn't quite liking the yellow for some reason. but after reading philip's comment, i think i agree. it's the fog covers that sorta ruins it.

I actually thought the red would look good, but after the picture, I'm back to stock.

I think the yellow is too bright, maybe a lighter color.

I think on the Oynx Blue that gray or silver would look good.

It's your car though, if you like it, I say stick with it.

I wished I had your view of the hills in the back ground though!

Man, why can't south Texas have something like that.

Cheers,
