How did you get that done.? I have seen it done on another car. I think it looks great. In fact thats the way that the manufacturer should have had them done. It looks much than the plain stock set up. It looks like the calipers on a benz or something really high end. Please post some info as to how you did that to the calipers. I am sure many will like to add that mod to their cars. post some info please.


ps. the ride looks hardcore man. great job.

They are stickers. You can get them from Ebay. The best job would be to remove the wheel, sand and prep the caliper, paint and adhere the stickers.

^^all you need to do is go to your local auto parts store and get the dupli-color ceramic brake paint kit. dont get the spray on as it doesnt last or hold up.

it comes with a can of caliper cleaner and then a little can of paint that is enough for about 4 cars I suggest to get a 1" brush from the hardware store or paint store as it comes out better and takes less time.

The stickers you can get from a few places. Go see or search caliper stickers in the 2IS section and there are 2 places that you can get from. I had the large Lexus with no circle L.

I am going to do mine tomorrow if I have time. Lowering the car tomorrow so I hope to do this at the same time.

Nice mod!!

i think you painted the left front side upside down... the bottom of the logo faces the tires, whereas the right front logo bottom faces the bolts.

but nice paint job.
did you spray or brush?

prep,sand,paint and install decal. my recommendation is to use this brake caliper paint called "G2 Paint". its a enamel paint instead of using some spray paint or some other cheap crap like that. when it dries it is rock hard and bulletproof to the elements. thats what i used and it turned out sweet IMHO.

like Iron Cobra said.....you can get the stickers on eBay. my stickers dont have the "L" logo though. i realize im partial but i kinda like em better.
