^^ or that too.

Unfortunately, ordering vinyl online is hit and miss for color matching. I'm afraid if it was a little bigger, they wouldnt line up right.

If anyone knows of a vinyl that is gray metallic, let me know

Got the Decals earlier this week. They look great. It's been raining here in NY so the weather is not ideal for sticking these on.

Mike - This decal just lays on top no heat needed? Will the heat from the brakes be an issue with peeling?

It just goes on top and heat won't be an issue. I clear coat over them with powdercoat then cure at 400 degrees without damaging them.

I'm very happy with stock brakes, but I hate the way the calipers looked. In on of the car mags I found my answer. A company called RGS make caliper covers in any color it lettering you want. As you can see they look really good and are easy to install.

It would be close to impossible to cut them exact to size and position them perfectly so the lighter letters don't show through. What I did and can do for you is mount the red letters on black vinyl and then cut it slightly larger and you can place it as a one piece sticker on it and completely cover the silver. You can hardly tell the black is there.

25 shipped.
hit me up with a pm to order
You can kind of see it here:

Thanks for the link. Those things are expensive.

I might go with Mike's decals in red if they are still available.

Ron	10-29-2011 03:41 PM

^ you already have sport brakes, no need for covers to pretend you do.

Mike	10-29-2011 03:46 PM

yeah, I make them to order. paypal is sales@thepowdercoater.com

Lets wait for feedback from Ron or RedBull to make sure the sizing is right before I send more out. I don't have a set of stock brakes here to compare to and I did these from memory.

Ron	10-29-2011 03:47 PM

Mike I got mine, size for the rears are spot on but the fronts are a bit to large I say maybe two points less on the font

I think it looks a whole lot better than the stock calipers

you want new fronts, or are they good enough?
