My 2011 IS350 AWD / 86K miles / I know it's bone stock but very proud first car purchase and excited to learn my AWD version of the 350 is 1 of only 2,300 produced for US. Open to any suggestions or tips for a new IS owner
First time Lexus owner here. She's still in pretty bad shape- I'm replacing the sticky mess of a dash with a used one in excellent condition that I bought off of Ebay (because it is past the warranty period and Lexus will not replace it). The previous owner never waxed her so I'm trying to bring the paint back some. He also bought cheap tires which I plan to replace with Michelins. I'm waiting on my Ikon front bumper conversion kit and V Land headlights (that I found out about through the forum), bought a different grille from another seller on Ebay - the kind without the two holes in the front for the European license plates - those would have driven me crazy, you can see them from a mile away. I am thinking about getting the V Land tail lights but am still on the fence about those... Can't wait to post post-conversion photos! The forums have been super helpful.
Would appreciate suggestions for what color to paint the calipers?
Celebrating my IS350 4 year anniversary I got it 4 years ago May 2016! Was stock when I got it 127k miles, now modded with 210k miles still running good. Couple of minor issues--some minor oil and trans leaks, some electrical, but gets me where Im going every day! Here are current pics and one from when I first got it:

For the calipers, I would do something like a dark red or a deep bluish purple. Do you plan to get new wheels too? If so, I would consider the wheel colour in your decision as well. Also, you're probably familiar with autogeekonline.net, but in case you aren't, that forum has a ton of useful information and helpful members when it comes to paint correction and paint protection. I recently did a light polish and wax on my CX-9 - it's nearing 3 years old, but looks brand new thanks to some of the tips and tricks I learned on that forum.
One last note - I love the epoxied floor of your garage
