hey guys, I can tell you that XENONMODS are a very reputable business. I too am a happy customer, and was NOT even aware that they did high-temp decals. I've had over 10 custom order jobs done through them for "etched-glass" decals. Very professional. I was just browsing their eBay listings again, and found this one, which is probably what Carlos has ordered from their website. It definitely looks good, and would beat a "paint around the edges - do it yourself" job !

Mention my name, they might give you an extra discount as a referral. Can't hurt to try.

I'd like to see the finished product: red calipers with white letters. The ones I saw here in San Diego, looked pretty good, but the white just didn't stand out enough, probably because of the grey background. White directly on red should be more eye-catchy, kinda like that Porsche pic up there. If I had a red car, I would do it too !
