Also I have done several track days since I painted the calipers and added the stickers. The high heat had NO effect on the paint or stickers

Bought both black and silver kits because I couldn't decide at the time.
I thought I could always sell the kit I didn't use to someone local.
Then looking at the caliper, I noticed the 2 pieces and figured I could
paint them different colors.

I'm not big on flashy mods and thought the 2 tone looked good on Silverstone.
Definitely better than the stock metal.

G2 kit and decals from Hondagal.com (might be Hondagirl; not sure, it's been a while).

edit: just remembered; it's Decalgirl.com.
