You can get them for about $220 shipped from Aliga all day long.

I used duplicolor high-temp brake caliper paint (hi-gloss black) purchased from TMEngineering. $7 at most auto parts stores. My calipers have 5 coats of paint on them, minimum.

You mean where does one purchase caliper decals from? CL member Ted920 I believe. Do a search to be sure. I think I paid like $22 shipped for my set (2 "LEXUS" decals for the fronts and 2 "L" decals for the rears, and I believe I have a spare set of front decals in a file at my house). Make sure that they're high-temp decals or you'll be when they melt off.

I got mine calipers from aliga but they were more than that and they were the last pait at the time. I just got duplicolor high temp black ceramic paint and discount and clear. 10 coats on mine and there holding up real well, just make sure to dremel brush the crap out of them and get a good prep on them. I got the decals on ebay...

Oh and i had to add H&R 5mm wheel spacers and studs up front to clear because the design of the spokes on these wheel are fat and hit by 1mm or so. Any other 20" wheel would have cleared except everything is challenging for me for some reason
