I have the kit and I have the decals now, they just came in the mail today, I am thinking I will start in the morning(SAT). I will post pics once its done, I have some new wheels to put on as well, so I might wait and do it all at once. You did a great job tapeing the pads, cant even tell. Thanks for that I was going to get them powder coated but after seeing yours I know I dont have to!.A little off topic but i bought 2 decal kits one white and one mettalic silver whick ones ?? I am thinking silver what do you all think?

IMHO: white if ur doing red calipers. the silver may just look too busy, not to mention not standing out as much. But whatever floats ur boat man! What rims did you get yet? (u should open up a porsche part museaum and charge all the honda guys 5$ to come by ur garage and drool).
