        Are the decals just a regular vinyl? I could order them from Afterthoughts, but because I'm in Canada, shipping anything is a PITA. Would I be able to get a local vinyl guys to cut them for me or is it a special material?

          Yes just regular vinyl in a brushed aluminum look. I clearcoated them a few times after I applied them.

                          Yep..working on Josh's rear calipers and will have them done by Friday. It was nice to meet ya Josh today and sorry I didnt have more time to talk. I'll keep ya posted on the calipers

                          Acid...there's really nothing special I did on them other then take my time :D . I had to sand down the ridge that was on the front so the decal would lay flat. Other then that I sprayed on brake cleaner and scrubbed them also with simple green and let dry. I applied light coats of the red, then applied the decals and gave them a couple coats of clear. That's it. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

                              Did you polish the bracket, or is that silver paint?
