on the LS i did spray them with a clear coat but it just chipped right off ... on the IS i'm not spraying anything on them
if they start looking dull (which they will) just use some metal polish and they'll be back to shiny

its calipers so they are going to get dirty no matter what ... and if you're going to get them anodized you might as well get them chromed ... and they're still going to get dirty and you're still going to have to keep them clean
its going to be inevitable ... if you polish or chrome them ... you are going to have to take a little extra time to clean them when washing your car or whatever ... comes with the territory

Here ya go.
All brakes get dirty, but surprisingly these clean off rather quickly with aluminum wheel cleaner. You would still need to polish them regularly if you wanted to maintain this level of bling.

Mine are painted black right now, but I may get them chromed or something for the added bling bling
