Default Caliper Decals

I am starting to warm up with my car and really getting to know her. I changed the oil Saturday and painted 1 caliper Sunday. So far so good. I am trying to source a set of “Porsche” decals. I thought they would be easy to find. They have not been unless I want to pay $20. That seems to much to me. Can someone help me out locating a set?

I don't think $20 is much, but that being said, I recently bought some high temp material caliper decals from another Rennlister for all four for $16. Check in the classified section.

The person I purchased mine from is username is Dilberto here on Rennlist.

Buy the caliper paint here and get the decals free - read all the way to the bottom of the description.

How many cans are required to paint all four calipers?
I'm tempted to paint mine.

That's what I was thinking.
The price reflects:
$5.00 decals + $15.00 Porsche tax = $20.00

You guys are being to hard on me. I’m just frugal. I don’t spend anymore than I have to, EVER. With that being said if $20 is what they cost them that’s what I will pay .

Sheesh, could have at least taken the time to take the caliper off. Hopefully you used a high temperature paint?

I took the brake pads out and then laid the caliper back over the rotor. I intend to do them all the same way. In a 20 year old car I am in no hurry to go taking things apart. This can sometimes take a simple and fun job and turn it into a hair pulling ****ty day.
btw I used VHT caliper paint.
whoever you are coming on like that is not a quick way to make friends.
