Clearly he doesn't. Lexus documentation shows all four are Brembo. So do the casting marks on all four calipers.

i knew i would catch hell for not taking them off but i didnt want to deal with bleeding them. I will take my Wilwoods off of my Tahoe in a heartbeat if i have to, (and have) but its a 2001 and i have already modded most of the vehicle beyond the point of no return. My 2011 though, i didnt want to mess with. If you watch the video, i showed them inside and out and NOTHING was missed. If you walked around them, up on the lift, with all four tires off, WITH a MAGNAFYING GLASS, you still wouldnt find any flaws or missed spots. I hear what you are saying, but it still dont make it a "second hand job". In fact its a totally LEGIT job. We didnt "mask the entire car". We cracked some tall cans of budweiser, taped off the fender wells and calipers....then draped plastic over the rest of the car.
The logo is part of the paint and not just a cheap sticker. It may not be how all of you would have done it but its how I DID IT and it came out nice. You can REALLY see them pop thru the new wheels i just got. The blue is the exact paint match for the blue lexus ISF. My painter works at the body / paint shop directly connected to my shop and had full access to all the real **** to do the job right.....in other words, you can talk your 5h!t all you want but at least its REAL paint and REAL clear......not rattle-canned. Dupont to be exact.
thanks!

oh and sorry if i sound to agressive here, its just i have a very VERY large youtube channel, the #3 most subscribed in all of automotive.....and i take ***** from every direction. I am used to having to constantly defend what i do. I get tons of love and respect but i also get a lot of know-it-alls with nothing better to do then pick apart something i have done. So anyway, if i seem defensive, its because i have to be lol -
to those who left good feedback, thanks for the kind words....to those that dont like it but werent ********* about it, thanks too lol -

Hey, does anyone have an opinion on white calipers? Will the notorious brake dust from the stock pads mean that you would have to clean them twice as much as the wheels?
