Default calipers

Hey guys I have a 2012 is350 and I'm in the market of some new calipers. I like the looks of the advics OEM calipers that came with my car, but I have had a hard time finding new replacements for them. I was wondering if anyone knew of another brand that looks close to the OEM version of my car or something similar.

Why are you replacing factory calipers with factory calipers? Something wrong with them? Most folks upgrade to a BBK. The IS-F BBK is a normal upgrade, and there happens to be one F/S on here right now. There are PLENTY other aftermarket BBKs for the IS350.

I want to powder coat my calipers a different color, but I am too lazy to manually take off my old ones and scrub the rust and dust off it. My car would be out of commision for a couple of days, I would assume, which I can't have. Once I got the new calipers I was going to sell my old ones. I would love a BBK upgrade, but they are too expensive for me.

You can purchase re-manufactured OEM calipers on Rockauto.com for about $130.00/ea. Then send them back your old ones and they'll refund the core charge of $65.00/ea to you.
