Since we know STI brakes fit and bleeders can be swapped from top to bottom, I might be interested in selling a reconditioned set soon... |

Might as well just bring them to a full polish for the amount of work it would take hahaha. Last edited by notFRS; 07-02-2012 at 04:24 AM. |

Funny that I don't recall ever seeing that on any forum or in real life. Which I think is for the best.
Stock callipers should remain stock, leave the coloured callipers for the BBK. |

I like the rough look of unsanded for some reason. Like hammered metal. That said, the sanded/glossy look is nice too - looks more stock.
This is VHT caliper spray. Lasted for several years, but it's finally faded/chipped up. My buddy used brush on stuff and his has been on for 5+ years. Not sure if I"m going to try that or the G2 next. Sorry about the gif - I was trying to decide how much lip kit to install (front, +sides, +rear) and what color (red, flat black, gloss black). Lost the original image. |

I don't currently, but I can take some pics using my car as the model. I have not painted my calipers though, so they will be the stock gray color. Do you have any color in mind that you'd like to see? And which design(s)?

Sure thing. I'll work on some more designs and get them on there.

Agreed, I'd love to see some "86" decals for calipers as well!

Brake vinyl ?
Quote:
Vinyl wrap on the hood of a car in climates like Arizona with the sun and engine temps baking away constantly and it holds up ! SO - I used brake caliper covers, wrapped in a chrome and a clear layer, thinking since the covers act as coolers, and a bit of a heat sink, vinyl wrap would hold up. Sure did ! - Until hard tracking burned and bubbled the front vinyl. Rears are like new ! Based on my experience, I assume car wrap vinyl will cook if directly on the caliper, unless perhaps daily driving only. |

Justin, got my stickers today and put them on and I think they look great. The rear caliper is a tight fit, but it works. I didn't even remove the wheels -- just put them on thru the spokes.
I dorked one of them up though. I don't think I got the caliper clean enough, and parts of it didn't stick, so I'll be ordering another set. But I'm very happy, thanks!
