OK, so here's the deal: my calipers came out awesome black with the white decals. However, I didn't take pics yesterday, and my car's in the bodyshop today (f'n car thieves). When I get my car back I plan to take a ton of pics, because I'll be rocking a new hood, and a custom-painted OEM grille.

I found a seller on Ebay selling "Porsche caliper decals", but his listing mentioned he was available for custom work. So I e-mailed him, provided him with measurements for the available space on my calipers, and had him get to work. For about $20 shipped (a bit less), I got 2 full sets of the decals.

The seller's name is "r6pilotxxx".

Besides eBay where else can you get the decals? Acura dealers? Some Spoon decals on it would be cool to. (preparing for the insults)

Welcome to the forums.

And I haven't been able to find the decals anywhere BUT eBay. Honestly, there's nothing to fear with eBay if you find a trusted seller - and I definitely vouch for the guy I listed above. He took care of me. As far as Spoon decals go, I wouldn't go that route personally, but you can have those made. I assume you'd want to go with blue caliper paint, in that case. Ricey, IMO, but to each his/her own.

ABPTSX, do you have any photos of your calipers? Thinking about doing mine and wondering if I should go Blue or Black.
