I have ordered all my caliper decals for all my vehicles from www.xenonmods.com, yes they are made to resist high temps.

Go look at your calipers. See the bumps only a few inches apart? Tell me how these decals are going to look right. Come on.

I just emailed him about the 2004 waiting for a reply-- I had custom decals made for my Mustang to read SLP - He took specs from my brake calipers and made custom decals - I am pretty sure he will be able to make some kind of custom decals for 2004+ TL decals.

I would check to see if they have a sticker that says "rice" or something along those lines. Just MHO.

Rice??? - These days everything that someone doesn’t like or disagrees with is "rice". I am sorry you feel that way -- I guess the brembos on the 6speed that read brembo - are also "rice". Personally I think as long as the color is kept with in reason and matches or complements the car it will look clean. I am a firm believer of the quote "to each his own." I do respect your comment, but I do disagree with you.

Again, the comment was just my opinion. IMHO, a $35k car does not deserve to have sitckers on the brake calipers.

The Brembo on other cars or the Acura label on the 6MT are not rice at all. Pretending to have a $4k set of brakes by adding a sticker IMO is rice.

This is all MO.

Couldn't agree more. Always cracks me up seeing Regular BMW cars with "//M" logos, and Mercedes that have FAKE AMG decals..etc.

Thanks for the info on what you think guys I will honestly take them into account and no I am not being sarcastic . I have no intent to brand them brembo's or to make them look like the a-spec brakes. I have caliper brake mods done to everyone of my vehicles, they do not look like "rice" All of them turned out nice and clean (factory appearance). - - The third pic was just to show the red calipers with white text in action, because that is the color combination I am going for.
