^^yeah i thoght about that, not sure if i want to get carbon hood or go black for the roof. Javy's car look nice with the black roof. but I think Pearl White will look better with black roof than GFM.

Yea Javy has a sick looking ride! IMO the BLK roof looks so good on our car. I am a big fan of this. You are going to be a busy person

the roof i probably won't do for a while, as long as I have rims and springs on, i will be good for a while. Until i start to think what to get next. plan to get tanabe's, not sure if i want exhaust on this car or not, i might get the joe z intake pipe. after the wheels, i'll probably get some sports pedals.

I am doing mine like this in the next week. have the caliper paint kit just waiting to find stickers and my new brake pads to come in. went with ceramic race pads. I will post a pic for you. remind me with a PM or something. i hear its easy to do maybe we can do a DIY thread

Yes in the front only. I think our rears are the same. But if you are going to paint BLK will still look better on your car IMO then red. You just might not have room for the sticker?

i'll probably need a smaller size sticke or something. Yeah, I originally thought red would be nice on a white car with black rims, but then it's a bit civicish.

haha i decided to do this as well i ordered my stickers already... pm me if you want details on where i got the stickers from. should probably get here monday or tuesday so i will let you guys know what i think of them and post pics. oh and i'm painting the calipers black (front and rear) and putting white stickers on the front. i went with the duplicolor caliper painting kit that comes with caliper cleaner, brush on paint, tape, brush, etc. too impatient to order the g2 kit online even though i know it is a better system, oh well. i also got some spray on clear coat stuff made by duplicolor to use on the front calipers to protect the stickers from dirt and wheel cleaner. also this is what is included in the sticker kit i bought they are supposed to heat resistant. i imagine one of these will fit the front caliper on the 250, i never measured so i don't know.

Lexus Brake Caliper Decals
3 - "LEXUS" text 2.5" x .3"
3 - "LEXUS" text 2" x .25"
6 - logo 1.25" x .9"
Full set of 12 - $7.99
