Default decals for calipers?

anyone know where to get some? I want some that say scion or them or something. I understand you need to use high temp decals or something, is that correct? Or am I misinformed, because if just any decal will do, Im sure I can have some made.

the ones on e-bay are actually pretty nice. i ordered some for my trans-am and they are actually cut from aluminum. took them to the powder coaters with my calipers and they did a coat of red applied the decals and covered with a coat of clear. very nice and so far very durable.

I am in the process of contacting the administrators on this board, but I actually specialize in custom brake caliper sticker decal graphics for a bunch of different cars, and I want to do the Scions. I do not make much money off of these, really just covering the cost obviously to buy them, shipping, and a dollar or two to cover the time of answering emails and questions.

Here is my temp web site:

http://whalebone.elon.edu/mma460/jva...ject/index.htm

Go to BRAKE CALIPER STICKERS, then go to a car model like MITSUBISHI (so you can get an idea of what they look like) and check out the Flash movie I made to see which color combos you like. I am making these as we speak for the Scions. I am still looking for a picture of the front and back calipers, but I want to make SCION for the front and xB or whatever model the person owns on the back.

Let me know if anyone would be interested.

Wont melt either. Made of high performance high heat resistant vinyl. Had mine on for over 4 yrs, paint started to chip and fall off yet the stickers are still holding strong and flawless, and even through New England winters, power washing, snow, sludge, mud, you name it.

Everyone should just email me at jvdgraphics@gmail.com, I dont want to post prices and all because I am not formally signed up to sell on here. I am waiting for a reply from the owner of this site which will hopefully come through soon.

The price is very very good though, so just email me if interested in these.

There is no reason to make stencils. I make the decals custom fit for each and every caliper.

You simply paint the caliper, let it dry, and then place the sticker onto the surface of the caliper and you are done. No need to put on clear coat or anything of the sort.

Mine have lasted for over 4 yrs and still flawless, even through New England winters and powerwashing.
