flop170 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 That's awesome, I'm excited to see the pics.Wednesday I talked to the shop that's working on my ES, they said it might be done Friday. A front end piece (they didn't say what specifically) came in a week late and they were prepping it for paint and they still needed to install the coolant system. Once I get it back I'll have to take some pics of mine, I'll have to borrow my sisters Nikon D40 to get some good quality. ya they did that same thing to me on my bumper..... oh well... it was worth the wait! ya definitely post up some pics! well congratulations! its always nice (and sorta rare) to hear about someone actually LIKING their repair/paint work! i know right... and im ridiculously picky too!!! they just did a superb job! i actually couldn't believe how well it matched up!!

wurm Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 flop ya gotta tell me ive been lookin the net far and wide. I recently got some nice lookin cross drilled rotors... on my is 300 03 model. But my calipers look icky. Ya know the flat grey meh. Anyways those lexus calipers did they come stock on the l-tuned models or where you get them. I saw them on someone elses car on the net and i cant seem to find anyone that sells those particular calipers. The red with the white lexus logo is beautiful. I must have :P. I'd appreciate any info man. Oand the car looks great man. Suprised they did such a nice job on it after nearly totaling the car. I got the millenium silver paint job on my 03 but i acctually was looking for the darker grey color in a 5 speed. Could only find the milenium silver. Fell in love with it tho. My wife thinks i love it more than i love her. Which i do so screw her :P lol im j/k must exit page be4 she reads this.

wurm Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 well loox amazing. I always try to stay away from paint. Usually comes out lookin bad.. but those are amazing looking. Ill definetly look into possibly doing that tho. If all else fails i can ordered painted calipers i spose and put some lexus logos on em :P i appreciate the info. And again nice ride. also but completely off topic, im from granbury texas, just stuck in vaginia cuz of the airforce. so /highfive for being a texan :P Have fun
flop170 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Posted April 16, 2009 oh cool what are the odds of that... well let me know when you get back to g town.... i live a whopin 10 minutes away... maybe i can show you how to paint your calipers...
wurm Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 rockin. on a side note, thats not you on your image is it. Cuz im afraid of big green men that wear purple cutoffs :P
