I just took a look at my calipers, they are grey not black, I guess I'll be getting the black decals. Did you paint yours?

Like the look!! I may have to order a set for mine.
I thought they were different, I hope the decals fit the 250 calipers!!!!

Just called the guy to get some things straight, for those of you that have the 250 the brake calipers are alittle smaller and a different color (grey). They do have decals to fit the 250 calipers also. Just placed an order.

The calipers on the 250 is much smaller than the 350's. Putting a decal on it, is a different story. It doesn't have a large smooth surface to stick such a decal on it. There is also a u shaped hole in the middle.

The 250 is I believe single piston and is silver like most average brake calipers out in the market. While the 350 is a 4 piston system. From what I seen, it looks to be dark grey in color.

I would get chrome or maybe brush alluminum. I think chrome match your wheels and the new black caliper color. Other colors won't look right.
