Default IS-F Caliper Brembo Decals Question

Hey Guys, where do you purchase your Brembo decals after you have painted your calipers? I checked ebay, however they do not have specific sizes for these calipers especially the curved ones.

If you guys can help, that'd be great!

Thanks!!

I didn't get curved ones, just the regular straight ones, and they look great. I got all 4 the same size, and while the rears were a tight fit they look fine.

Just noticed that the Brembo BBK's decals are straight (non curved)...

I got these curved decals made locally. I gave the shop the picture of the real caliper and the measurement of the fonts and they made me a set. I printed the actual Brembo GTR billet caliper picture and enlarged it enough to match our front calipers to do the measurement. Let me know if you are interested to doing it this way.

This is the only pic I can find at the moment, and it's a pretty crappy one with a filthy wheel. (this is the front)

I have a local vinyl guy, that cut them while I waited. I then applied them over the caliper and shot a high temp clear coat. They have been on for two years and some track days, no peeling, fading or discoloring. I did not see the need to order special decals, when my local vinyl guy is $5.00 per decal and I have them instantly.








I will probably change the front ones, because who really cares if they are Bembo's.....and the more I look at them the more I hate them

Info is this....find a company that does custom vinyl graphics work and they basically pulled the graphics from Google and replicated them...hopefully not violating any copyright laws
