I'm not going to lie, not that I don't trust you/your shop's expertise but it seemed like an unlikely "fix" to my issue. Sure glad I talked to you guys before throwing money at the problem! Thanks, as always!
Applied Leatherique. Replaced pads and rotors. Fiddled around a bit more with the chrome delete and the way the running boards looked.

The later LX570 door moldings can be removed without any body work? I wish the 2013s were like that...
No clue! Didn't have any when I bought it.
According to records, 43,757 was the last replacement, so 33,000 miles. They were down to 20% and the rotors were carved up a bit. Noticeable pulsing when braking. I went with Bosch pads (BP1303, BP1304) and Brembo rear rotors (09.D618.11), which both served me well on my LS which was a heavy car that ate up brakes. Couldn't find Brembo or Bosch* front rotors so I went OEM.
* A few sources claim Bosch 50011498s work on the front, but they don't. They're a little smaller.
I'm jelly. Have fun!
Looking forward to escaping this heat for a week more than anything haha.
Added a set of Wildpeak AT3W (275/70/18) and Spidertrax spacers today. Amazing how much better a 200 looks when you give the tires a little poke. Also now have 3 out of 4 center caps which is nice. One day I’ll get some decent photos of this thing.
It’s miserable man. Type of heat that makes me want to move.
For sure, but then we have mild winters so gotta pick your poison.
True. I’m not built for those northeast winters but I have thought about finding a place in Colorado one of these days.
They are mild until they aren't lol
True, but short lived and few and far between.

Headed back home after the same right now. The flies were really, really bad this year but highs 20-30 degrees less than home will allow you to deal with a lot.
My friend that lives in Durango claims I’m not a real Texan because I don’t own property in Colorado yet.
Bummer about the flies but it's a trade-off I am willing to take.
Too funny about the Texan owning property in Colorado, we are actually meeting up with some old friends in Durango for dinner, they winter in Texas and spend this time of the year up there just north of Durango.
