looks good. I didnt clear mine when I had the IS and even through snow/ice/salt they held up perfect.

Your front calipers look badass, but I'm not feeling the red rear calipers. They're too small for it to be sticking out, but our front calipers are massive! I have similar stickers like yours that I just slapped over my front flat black calipers. It makes the calipers look a hell of a lot better because that flat area is just begging for some decals. No clear coat here, if it comes off, I'll just put on another set.

Ha I know! The front just overpowers the rear, but I dunno, I guess I'm just a little **** about being even. Nice, decals just make it pop but I wonder if it would have been a good idea if I printed out a stencil instead and sprayed it on.

^i'm thinking the same thing... i just painted mine so i'm debating if i should even get decals.

hrmmm random question: would you guys suggestion installing decals/clear coating before or after installing the calipers? The paint seems super delicate as i already had to touchup a lil chip.

What paint did you use? When I painted the final coat, I waited about 20 mins, which was dry to touch, then applied the decals. Some people say clear isn't necessary but I like the extra shine and to seal the decals in.

wow, that does look really good! I just might have to do that as well.

i used that duplicolor kit from pepboys. I probably applied about 4 coats and waited a week to apply the final 5th coat (finished today). I'm still waiting for the decals to come then i'll spray it with a couple layers of clear. It looks like its professionally painted.

hey weird question... i have a 2008 IS but was wondering why my calipers dont look like that... i mean i wanted to put a decal but no room like this one... is this a different package or something?

That's because the IS250 has smaller calipers/rotors. I'm in the process of swapping mine with an IS350 which has the bigger calipers/rotors.

The brush kit? Man that looks really good then. I tried the brush but it just wasn't workin. Dang I hate to wait, glad there's a local graphics shop near me. Took a day to make and $15
