I always wonder how people did that. Hard to see, maybe you can do Yellow. But it still looks good.

Shogun, "Congratulations" you did it right! Unless you have a BBK why bring attention to your calipers, focus should be on your wheels even if they're OE....

Got to be honest, not digging the black calipers. Makes the brakes hide behind the wheel, but the silver stickers will help. I am digging your tire selection though, love my Hankooks.
I also put my wheel under my car when I jack it. I'm not resting the car on it, but I keep it there incase somehow the car drops from the jack. I'm pretty sure damage to tires/rim will cost less than damage to the body and brakes.

edit; just read OP's reply. yeah thats exactly why I do it.

Also, on the topic of calipers and infiniti decals, I was told that once I put the decal on the brakes, that I should add a high temp clear coat on top of it. Is that necessary or should I skip it? The decals I bought are supposedly "high temp".

I also used the duplicolor kit on mine. I went with silver on the discs since it matched my wheels.
