I ordered my G2 kit on Mon from http://www.stage3motorsports.com/. They were $1 more than the ebay seller and free shipping. Hopefully I'll get the kit this weekend and post up some pics.

From everything I've read from here and other forums it seems like 90% of the reason for chipping is in the preparation. It seems like if you smooth out the calipers and apply in thin layers you will have a smaller chance of crack and chips.

Looks great Rajun, thanks for the pics.

Did you remove the pads when you were prepping the calipers? Thats what it looks like in the picture.

Is there something I'm missing here with the Nissin thing?

Nissin is a Honda affiliate that provides the brakes for, I believe, almost all of Honda's vehicles. My 97 Honda CR 125 dirt bike even had em.

Depends on your rims. I'd go silver calipers with a black or orange logo. If you want to be more subtle, go with black calipers with a white or orange logo.

Keep in mind I'm color-blind.....
