But its a labor of love and I think it was well worth it.
THE CAR LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!
I too was in the "no red calipers" camp, and I was the first to admit that I was wrong!!! When I saw the sneak peek pics, the first thing that came to my mind was 'SUPERMAN' because of the red/blue combo. Am I the only one that thinks the brakes bought out the wheels and tailights more?? They all just seem to flow! The car now has a USA theme (red, white (or chrome), and blue)
Am I the only one who agreed with the red???? Since he wouldn't go for a custom color like GOLD, I told A to get red since it would really shine off his blue ride. Blue on blue would have been nice....but I think someone else has done this here with the Endless kit *nudge nudge* so it's a good thing that A went with red.
Overall, perfect choice, bro! And like I said, you blue GS boys need to give the newbs a chance to play catchup.....heck give the rest of the colored GS'es a chance!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice choice in brakes, caliper color, wicked looking tire tread and as usual your photography skills are the perfect complement to those brakes that your car has been crying out for for so long to complete the "show transformation".![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I have to ask one question though - what could possibly be next? I can only think of one thing - Forced Induction. Knowing you, you probably already have something like that planned and will surprise everyone once it is installed and you have dyno sheets and tons of pics to show!![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I gave up a long time ago trying to keep up with guys like you! There are cars that are show-worthy and there are cars that are not! Very simple.

As I have said before, certain guys on this board are really, really, really just taking the GS to a level that is superlative, and you are one of them
With the big bucks spent on the interior and now these brakes, I think you give new meaning to the term "pimp my ride"!!
Good job, and enjoy!

Let me also chime in about Adrian.........he was more than patient and great to deal with!! I'm glad we get to see the final results, you once again did an excellent job on putting the right touches on the car.
This is a custom Set up by Rotora with LXOGOOD having the only other kit, at least you have something different, because they will not be produced or offered again.
Looking good, send me some pics and a mod list my way so we can add you to the customer ride site on www.L-Tunedparts.com
