Liking the black front calipers with the logo.
The logo on the rear caliper looks a little odd...just my opinion. I realize real estate on the rear caliper is sparse.
Nice work on the paint though.

Thanks. Yeah the rear calipers are so puny that there's no point in highlighting them!

Just have to find a smaller Lexus logo decal so you can center it. I have a small one on my rear calipers. Barely noticeable. Highlights the rear calipers very well. Well I think it does lol.

Nice wheels!! Goes well with the caliper paint.
Did the Lexus center caps swap over directly?

Ohtsu FP8000 265/30/19 have a more rounded sidewall so never rubbed.
Minerva iMove 265/30/19 tires will rub where shown above because of the more squared-off side wall. Put a piece of masking tape in the fender and you will see it get marked.
Thanks! Problem though with this high-contrast color combo is pictures are not that great unless I have a high-end camera which of course I don't (cell-phone cam). I miss USB 1.0 and is still my favorite color hands down but for some reason USB 2.0 and the refresh did not (and still does not) click with me.

Ah - ok. Do you think this rubbing will cause fender damage down the road? (leading to rust perhaps?)
I have been having trouble finding out exactly where rubbing is happening, good idea about the masking tape.

Try the tape!

Looking good so far! Did you buy precut tint for the tail lights or did you cut it yourself? Also how difficult was it to apply? I see people saying they had theirs sprayed instead of vinyl tinted because of the shop of our 3IS tails.
