Black calipers represent . I opted for the black with silver decal. The decal color matches my silverstone perfectly. But red on black looks great too. Props on all that prep work, it payed off!

Black calipers here too, I grinded then dremeled and sanded mine then used that G5 stuff that you mix up, and the vinyl from decalgirl back when they sold them. They have held up well for 2 years already. Yours look so hot with the red decals! If my S was red i would have definitely done it just like that.

Nice work man. They look like glass. The prep work is so important in achieving a smooth, shiny finish.
