If your referring to fake "caliper covers" that you stick on to your existing calipers then I'm pretty sure no members here have that. If they do, they would be too embarrassed to post them on here.

The IS350 comes with larger 4-piston fixed calipers as well as larger rotors front and rear.

You probably saw people with legit BBK's, but those cost serious money ($2-$4k).

If you have a IS250, another option would be to swap them out for IS350 brakes. Thats what I did, except I powdercoated them gloss black, slapped on "Lexus" decals and ordered slotted rotors.

those look nice coconut. I plan on painting my stock 250s sgm ( or as close as I can with the caliper paint and also trying to see how I can fit the lexus stickers on. I looked last night and space is a bit limited due to little clip looking thing..I just need to find a whole day I don't need to drive anywhere

No, the 350 calipers come in a matte dark grey finish with no lexus decals.

How much does it run to swap out IS250 brakes and roters with IS350 ones?

Sewell sells a complete IS350 front brake kit for around $600 or so. Figure in another $200-$250 for a shop to do the swap.
