hey Coz,

How hard is it to remove the logo on the calipers? Is it painted on or it just a sticker that can be remove by razor blade?

If i can get an Altima to come in for fitting, can we finally get this done? If so, please PM or post up here an address and what is needed as far as time to check/measure...thanks, lol I appreciate it. i know you Z guys could care less about an Altima, but remember I am ONLY 37 lbs lighter and with fwd, I sport less power loss...lol j/k...please let me know what is needed and I will supply a car for you.

Thanks, I don't really want to paint the caliper...so I might have to shell out couple hundred dollars extra for the Nissan calipers

Shoot, go nuts, I'll get my word done sooner And you are correct, they would need to be repainted to cover it.

Ok Coz, I have it all set up. i have a guy that is about 5-10 minutes from you. I am going to PM you his phone number, and PM your number to him. Please help to make this happen. I want these pretty bad for my SER....Thanks for working with me. Should these fit the Altima I am sending you, others are interested. Quite a few put the brakes on just getting the smaller Willwood upgrade for our cars, so maybe because of me causing you a little extra work, with measuring and all, maybe, just maybe you will benefit from a few extra orders for this kit.

Sorry for the ishy cell phone pics..







I'll be re-fitting my works tomorrow. Got a chance to buy a grinder, and had some help with shaving a little extra meat off the calipers. We'll see if it's enough.

Sanded some meat off the top of the caliper, pretty much just the lip that existed on the edge, and now it fits! Smooth as butter. Now just time to sand and make the caliper smooth again and then re-paint and good to go.

Looks good man. So you have to sand off some of the caliper to make it fits? Which Work wheels do you have.....looks like XD9?
