I picked up a pair of LS400 front calipers from aliga(thanks aliga) and sanded them and painted them silver. Picked up a set of rotors from napa and through everything in today. I did not use the dust shield since they really serve no purpose so I just cut it out. I used a small spacer/washer about 5/8inch thick for the upper caliper bolt since it was a bit long and would have hit the rotor. That worked perfectly.
Here is the before picture:

And with the tt wheels:
I also had a few extra hours on my hands today so I through this in the car:
I have a set on my NA Supra and it stops GREAAAAAAAAT!
You cant beat it for the price. Plus the difference is so marginal between the tt brakes it is silly to spend the extra money for slightly larger brakes IMO.
awsome job. I was really debating what color i should paint my calipers.... it was either silver or black. I went black but I am really digging the silver... oh and that's a nice engine you got there man. usdm?

Yeah I had the same debate and I figured they would stick out more and look decent in silver. I gotta grab some of those lextreme stickers for it. The engine is a usdm tt and it was a PITA to get it running right but now it runs great.
