Default Lets see your painted factory calipers

Also need a link to the person who sells the decals. These decals are vinyl??

When I saw the people who have the "nissan" or "350Z" on their calipers, I thought they used a stencil and different color of hight temp paint for the letters but apparenty it's just a decal? Seems like it wouldn't stand up to the high temps?

Yes, the close up pictures of the calipers were taken when I still had my old 18's w/ Nitto's before I changed them to 19's w/ Toyo's. Here are some updated pics.

By the way I love those wheels. Wish they were the same price as Hiro's:-P

Are they 8.5" and 9.5" with 245 and 275/35's?

Ok so what color would look good with a Red Z and Silver Hiro's?

I was debating between going with Gold an no decals, preferably a gold closest to Brembo color.

Or

Black, with White decals? 'Nissan' on the fronts and '350Z' on the rears.

I totally do not want to paint them red or silver because silver would clash too much with the spokes on the wheels and make everything look off balance, I think. And red on red, I don't like the whole matching colors thing.

So what color on a redline?

Some guy has a redline in here gold painted brakes and it looked good, but can't find the damn thread.

Black would look great, with red decals.

They are:

Front - 19x9.5 Face 1 w/ 21 offset + Toyo T1S 245/35/19
Rear - 19x10.5 Face 2 w/ 24 offset + Toyo T1S 275/35/19

The 19's do have a firmer ride than the 18 Nittos. However, the 19's do look a lot better!!!

Thanks
