Any idea if he's on these forums and user name? I'm a little bit of an old fogey and don't have an instagram account or know how to use it. I did a google search but, was unable to get access due to not being authorized.

This is what you're looking for
He sells them for $45 a set
I'm sure this is the same person mentioned above. Question, while we're on the subject is the factory orange for the calipers the new molten pearl color? Or better yet, can someone supply the color code? Thanks!

Thanks for this. I know I am probably being too **** about this. This one is close but, there are still a couple of things off. And I was looking to have my calipers done in blue as well.

1. oem has a white shape/fill-in behind the F (to the left)
2. There is a small curved separation between the vertical and second horizontal line of the letter

Again, putting the factory one here fore reference. Also, if you look at the factory emblem, it also has these queues.

You're not being too **** it's your car and the quality of parts and mods you did to your F and now RCF speaks volumes about the quality you need and looking for. These are the ones I was talking about. My friend here in Socal has a set of those decals. And told me they are paper thin so he didn't put then on his F. Maybe a lithograph place can make them for you cheaper and better quality .

Paper thin would be fine if you spray clear over them.

You're welcome Weswork, and No. You can never be too **** about your car, especially at a 60k base price. Yeah, I can't believe I totally missed the separation in the "F". By any chance have you looked up the OEM price for them? If so, how much? Also, is the new orange caliper molten pearl?

Just got some decals made up quick when I was getting some wrap done the other day.
Almost the same as a few posts up.
Because of the layering of black over the reflective material, don't think he could do the fine separation of the small piece in front of the F.
I'm happy with it though as it was quick, cheap and convenient, and most importantly, covered my mistake of previously putting on F Sport decals when I didn't know better.

The factory stickers are not available from Lexus as a separate item. You have to buy an entire caliper to get the stickers. True for both RC F and GS F.

Default OEM look stickers for brake calipers

Hey guys,

i just talked the guy from ebay who sells the "F" logo stickers for the brake calipers. He has these available for purchase if you request them.

the ebay sellers name is "sellin4benjamins"



I think these are exactly like the GSF/RCF brake logos

Not perfect but, that's pretty damn close. The one thing that's off is that there is a line that separates the short prong from where it connects to the vertical "trunk" of the "F". You can really only see it if your right up on it. I had a local Fastsigns place do mine as they had a relationship with a local high-end performance shop that I work with and had done a lot of high temp stickers with other logos using a proven process. They were able to duplicate the F logo almost down to a "T" with some jpeg images they were able to get. I told them they could probably sell a lot of these if they were inclined. He declined and said it wouldn't be worth the potential copyright issues they would face. However, if someone were really interested I could probably get another batch or two done if you want to PM me. They weren't cheap as I think they ran me about $35. Also, the F is silver (which I wanted) vs. OEM is white. Here are some pics of the completed caliper.

Looks good Wes! You attention to detail always shows in the end product.

Did you clear coat on top of the sticker?
