I like the new wheels on the 2LT and the painted Brembo's came out great. Where did you get the Brembo decals? Are you going to paint the calipers on the 2 LT?

Nice wheels and especially the calipers. I've seen the decals on eBay. Was your paint a spray or did you brush on several coats to even it out? Did you leave them on and tape around them or remove them. Sorry for the questions, but I got to do this to my calipers and this price is definitely in my range. Thankx for sharing.

I used that dupli color chevy red-orange spray paint on my engine cover. Its a perfect match to IOM! I have wanted to paint the calipers too but just havent done it. Seems like quite a project to take on! Looks really good though!
