Thx......it is what brakeperformance.com offers. Basically OEM rotors that are drilled/slotted, and zinc coated, for $250 shipped (fronts).....not a bad price IMO.

got the akebono logo from the web. sent to mike and he had it converted to his cutting machine format. he made a template and spray painted over the blue powdercoat then covered everything with a clear powdercoat. so he can cut templates or actual decals. hit him up @ www.thepowdercoater.com.Originally Posted by OCG35

)anyway, I think the link you sent is supposed to have "er" at the end right?... when I click the link = nothing, but when I add er to the end I get his site (I guess its the guy everyone refers to)... but he's in GA and I don’t want to pay for shipping, so I'll either have my powder coater do it or have AE paint them... I just need to get some decals made up.
I called Akebono US to request decals, but all they have are stickers (that are too big) - it was nice of 'em to send them though.

^ DO IT!! Mike's work is sick... and looks like he's done plenty of the Akebono sets now that you know you won't have to worry about quality.. plus all the high praises he gets around the forums for all his work... you've spent all that $$$ for the BBK... what's a few more...

If you haven’t recently spent thousands (many of them) on the car, then sure what’s a few hundred more than the price of the Akebonos… but limits have to be set (and I’ve reached mine for now).

If you take a logo to a local sticker shop, or have them pull it up on the web, shouldn't it be a high temp decal? Or could you get away with just a regular vinyl or something? Thanks!
