Im doing gloss black calipers with the word LEXUS in gold. Im spraying the gold i want first and laying the LEXUS sticker over it and black around it.

Nice work!!! I like how it looks without the actual sticker on there...and I might be wrong, but I think the rotors are on backwards

Yea I've been googling a lot since u mentioned they might be backwards and I've been getting mixed answers a lot. I saw a thread on here asking the same question of which way do they go and they seemed to have the same ebc rotors and found the way I have them are correct. So I'm hona have to get a hold of ebc themselves and talk to em. Thanks for the concern tho guys!
