That looks nice... I was just telling my BFF that I wanted him to help me do this and he asked what it would look like. I have a DP Sedan, so I think this will work great.

All my $ is going to home improvements so I went the cheap route and painted my stockies black and threw some hight heat Infiniti decals on. Turned out nicely and still subtle as I didn't want to draw too much attention to my stock calipers. I'll post some pics soon...

I bought this '05 G35 last week. The previous owner had painted the stock calipers red. Not sure if I am digging it, but they sure do stand out...
