  1. I've earthed my other car with 2GA wiring and gold connectors....made no noticable difference. Just looks nicer
  2. Unless you have a relatively high resistance between grounding points, you shouldn't need a grounding kit ;)
  3. Fluffy Dice for the rear view mirror :P :P Nice car you got there Steven :D, Our NZ club need some of those Club Decals. Also, when you painted the calipers, did you took the whole caliper out or did ya just painted and warpped it with plastic bag like i did? matt When I paint calipers, I usually remove them from the vehicle for easy access. However, with the Lexus, I decided to mask off the surrounding areas as I did not want to disturb the ABS connection and brake lines. Would have been quicker to remove them from the vehicle then masking :P Didn't want to get paint on the bodywork. I used a caliper spray rather then a brush on paint to get a smoother finish. So Yeah, You've probly done it the same way like I have. -Take the Wheel Out -Clean Caliper -Use Plastic Bag / newspaper to surround other area -spray caliper with paint -let it dry -take plastic bag out -put wheel back on right? BTW where did you get your caliper stickers? Flatline of is300.net? also what kind of wheels do you have on your car? is it the graphite polished or chromed polished, I wish Lexus New Zealand would make them available to us, I hate thi scountry when it comes to car parts. Matthew The wheels on the limited edition yellow are the graphite. Caliper stickers were from Steve at LOC UK. Hey Steven. Where do you live man? I want your wheels, and it will be gone gone gone...to me :D JKS...OMG I will do anything for graphite wheels....... :( Matt I'm in Australia
