Red calipers sounds good with the white infiniti and mt fuji decals. When my decals come in i'm going to see what they look like unpainted with the caliper and if I don't like it I'll paint them gloss sliver and use the decals. I've already brought stillen sidesills and had them painted, LED side markers and these decals I don't want to spend any more money on car modds for a couple months now.

I have seen a post on here where some one had decals on the stock calipers. I believe they may have been selling them as well. I can't seem to find it by searching however.
Found it.

OK, here is a really stupid question. I have a hydraulic jack and have used it on this car several times, but now the dumb question. Where can I place a jack stands under this car? I wanted to paint my calipers two at a time. I’d hate to spend four evenings painting my calipers one at a time.
Thanks..
Thanks..
