I received my lettering for my calipers. Install was easy. I cleaned the calipers with wheels cleaner, not caliper cleaner. Then I roughed up the surface with 320 grit sandpaper. I applied the decal letters which went on very easily. I used a credit card to make sure the edges were down. Then I used high temp clear coat - about 5 coats.

How do you all like it?

looks good man, you car is one of my favorites..

 

looks good ... but would have been more personal(mysterious) if you had "DEUS" instead of nissan..

 

man that looks good.

 

Looks great, better with drilled/slotted rotors though...

 

That came out real nice....,I had a heck of time getting mines on (at least to stick) so I ditch the idea. Good job on yours though......

 

looks good deus. where are you guys getting the paint for your calipers? I plan on doing mine soon but still unsure about the color...any thoughts? car is smoke with tinted windows and stock 18's

 

Looks sick!

 

Looks fantastic!!



by sick you mean good right?

 

yes, it means good

 

Goldfinger!! HA!!!

Dues, looks great man, when you dropping that bad boy??

 

lookin sharp...as always Deus

 

Thanks guys. Appreciate the kind words. I plan on painting the rears tomorrow (Sunday). I can't think of anything clever I can do to them, other than matching red paint. Lettering is too large for the puny rear calipers.

 

try just putting the nissan symbol on the rears.

 

they are too thin for letters I belive...

 

sorry to jack this thread, what do you think about painting the calipers a speed yellow color? a few peeps have red already, mights as well try a different color.

 

I think yellow would look really good on an Onyx Max. I'm pretty sure the Duplicolor caliper paint h\comes in yellow, as probably does the G2 paints. Maybe someone can photoshop that? Calling sparq!!!!

 

Deus, those calipers look great! You really mean it when you plan on making something by yourself... And about that yellow color...please guys DON'T. Yellow is so difficult to keep clean on your hood, imagine the calipers! Red masks the dirt a little better, but yellow? Are you out of your mind! You would have to clean it when you leave to work and when you get to work...

 

I just think the yellow looks hot. I know we dont have a porsche, but I think its great. I know it will probably be a bit*h to keep clean though.

 

oooooh, nice. It could work!

 

horrible photoshop using mspaint!!

 

looks nice, those rims look sorta smaller than the stock 18's tho, but i think its just the lip.

 

I think im gonna do black after seeing eveyrones. I mean, it will still look shinier and blacker than the stock 05 ones.

 

still trying to figure what color to do myself.....

 

red, yellow, black, smoke not necessarily in that order
