Yea, that silver with black decal definitely seems like the right size. Also the color combo I'm going to do!

The decals are 4.25" long x 1" tall. I bought them from this seller. I believe these weren't the hi-temp vinyl, but after 2 years, there are ZERO problems with the decals in terms of fading, warping or any defects.

Not sure on the size, however here's the link to the exact decal I bought. It comes with 3 different sizes, the largest being the one I used.

I thought this looked like a good size, so I ordered them today. Seller was incredibly quick to respond to my questions and is making them exactly as I asked.

i put some time into getting the right size and i found that 4" wide by 1.05" tall is an ideal size.

contact stickerculture on ebay, they will work with you and get you all the stickers in that size as a custom order.

Thanks guys. Sorry about being MIA. I went out of town for a 1/2 mile drag race and then got swamped at work. Here are some side pics of the blue brakes.

Gold G2 Caliper Paint. Don't flame on the Acura decal. The guy sent me the wrong size. Waiting on the new ones to come in along with some black locking lugs.

For those who want a clean OEM look, check these out:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brake-Caliper-Decals-for-Acura-RSX-Type-S-Big-Brake-Brembo-Upgrade-Conversion-/131328917485?var=&hash=item1e93d03fed
The seller made them custom for me and now he's selling them. I told him the other ones he had for sale do not fit the Brembos and this will now supplement that need for those who want painted calipers but an OEM look. I painted mine Gold and then the rear calipers flat black for an inconspicuous look. Enjoy
