I bought a FSport Decal, if i apply this to the caliper, standing in front of the car, one decal will be facing front and the other will be facing the rear from the other side, correct me if I am wrong, Should I get another set from the seller facing the opposite direction so when on the car they both facing the same direction?
Look at it this way, passenger side view followed by driver's side view.The bottom of both decals will be facing forwards. I hope this helps.
I bought some decals myself and will be putting them on today (if I get around to it) on the OEM black calipers. I'm hoping that I don't have to paint the calipers themselves, but I'll decide that once I take a really close look at the caliper. If I do have to paint, I will than have to decide on a color.

I believe those would only be for the driver side. When you are looking at the decals, you should need to turn your head toward the back of the car to read it, regardless if you're looking at the driver side or passenger side.
That will mean that the passenger side sticker should be inverted compared to the driver's side for it to be correct.

I don't get what you guys are saying...
Did mine today, not as visible as I would have liked but that's the limitation of keeping the OEM 19's
Are you saying they shouldn't be placed as they are in the pics?

I think everyone is overthinking this, plus there really isn't a right way to do it.
you can use the stickers you have just fine, just how chinee described and did.
I've always felt the correct decal placement orientation on brake calipers is: If you were a tiny creature standing on the center hub of each wheel looking at the decal - all four decals would read right-side-up, not upside-down.

A rather unique way of looking at it, but I agree.

This is correct...On the passenger side, you need to tilt your head left/down toward the back of the car to read the decal. On the driver's side, you need to tilt your head right/down toward the back of the car to read the decal.
