Although, they are saying that they cannot put back on the NISSAN logo originally on them. I kinda like that NISSAN on them, can I force them to just replace the whole calipers with new ones if they cannot bring it back in factory condition?

I have a 2017 370Z Nismo which I bought 11 months ago. -Thanks guys!
On a 11 month old car I would insist they replace the calipers with new ones. I would not settle for anything less and am surprised they have taken this stance.

However, if they are going to have them re-powder coated and if you ever thought of a different color, this would be the time to take them up on it. Just make sure they warrant the powder coating in writing.

They are only doing the rear so I will have to match the red ones upfront and I will make sure that it is warrantied. Thank you!

Completely agree! They f**ked it up, they should do whatever it takes to restore them to OEM condition and this includes the decals. If no decals are available, then they have to replace the calipers. I would not settle for anything less. Maybe next time, they’ll hire actual auto technicians who give a sh*t instead of chimps to service cars.
