Default Solution for Caliper Decal/Stencil? Pictures?

Hi again everyone . I posted a request for pictures and info about JDM style headlights yesterday, and got all my questions cleared up already! Thanks everyone! In light of how helpful you all were, I thought I might try a few more questions. I just got my silverstone S and am doing some easy cheap cosmetic mods to start with to make her my own: smoked lights, JDM side markers, black H emblems, calipers, etc. What I'm working on figuring out right now is calipers; so, my main question/issue I need help with is this:

To match the H emblems on the way , I'd really like to paint my calipers black with a silver/chrome colored logo of some sort, either "S 2000" or "VTEC" or "HONDA" or something, preferably "S 2000". Through the forums I've learned the ones I've seen came from decalgirl, and that they are no longer made. So, any suggestions on putting print on my calipers? Ideally, I'd rather have a stencil than a decal for durability. If anyone has a large, detailed picture of the design that decalgirl used, and information on the dimensions of that decal, I could have a stencil cut at a sign shop, but I at least need the image and its size. Here is a great forum I already visited that helped with ideas, but didn't help me figure out HOW to create a stencil, although one is mentioned:

Secondarily, I'm interested in installing a black or silver/chorme/stainless grille. Pictures of installed grilles and info on where they come from would be great. I'm particularly interested in any pictures of grilles with small white foglights mounted in them. It literally puts teeth in the S2k's mouth. So, anybody got grille or foglight pictures/suggestions? Unless informed otherwise, I will probably get one of these grilles from grille-tech:

I'd love any other suggestions/opinions/pictures you all have related to these sorts of mods too. Anybody got opinions on Eyelids? Sprayed wheels? Stickers? These are things that have been suggested that I'm not really sold on. Thanks everyone!

I chose the Grillcraft grill, I think the quality looked much better. Heres a link to my install, and theres also step by step instructions on their website.

Thanks for the opinion and the links 4ME . Does anyone share the opinion the Grillcraft product is worth the extra cash? Any pictures of a silver one?

I have a brand new Grillcraft Grill in the box. It is black and is for AP1... Let me know if you are interested.

I also sell the complete set of caliper decals in various colors.

Again, let me know if you are interested.

For caliper decals...I'd def give this S2K Accessories.....believe this is the link:

www.s2kaccessories.com


anyway he made mine to say HONDA and it also came with the H emblems seperately....def contact them....that should not run you more than 10 or 15 bucks

for the calipers i'd recommend bringing them to a shop...$100 a caliper is what i was charged...castings were poilished off and painted black with a special base coat that is thick and heat resistant.....of course you could go budget and paint them yourself with G2 caliper paint and it will look fine...but if you want the smooth bbk look....go with the first option...


+1 on grillcraft...exceptional quality and i'm sure they make one for the AP1 (years 00-03)....just to give you an idea of the qulity of the powdercoat....i was messing around with plier trying to feed zip ties through the grill to mount the front plate and the mesh never knicked or scratched....and i some pretty careless slips with the plier...good quality product and the look is exceptional...go with black as it will give your S2k a stealthier look...but whatever you do enjoy!!!!

hope this helps

Is there a cheaper place to get Grillcraft other than their website? I mean a vendor should be able to give us a better price right.
