Caliper DECAL question

[rick3000]

I would avoid xenonmods, The guy who runs it is pretty dodgy, he apparently only likes to ship to certain people. You can get the decals on eBay for a reasonable price, and if you spray clear coat over the decals, the quality is not that important.

Avoid xenonmods!!!

They shipped my order partially and refused to ship the rest. I would email for weeks and they would not respond.

I tried to get my money back since I paid with PayPay and then they said they would ship it. Sent me a shipping confirmation and all.....well nothing every came, never dropped the package to UPS, empty tracker. They are scammers!!!

Buy from Ebay or Suncoast.

thanks.

any of you guys think it makes a BIG difference if I get the G2 kit vs the duplicolor system?

from my searchingonline here it sounds ilke the G2 is epoxy based and the duplicolor is NOT and that G2 WILL look better. not necessarily twice as good - but I've read enough posts from people who have used both and those who did said to use G2.

i will probably order G2 and if I dont get it time to do it this weekend, i'll just do it next wekend.

I've got a new exhaust coming on Thur/Fri that I am going to be installing on Sat/Sun.

I used xenonmods and they were great, everything went like clockwork.

So, I guess that reinforces what rick3000 said about them being dodgy. Sounds like if you catch them when they're 'in the mood' things turn out OK, if not you'll have trouble.

xenonmods and the various ebay people seem to all sell SIX stockers for about $6-7.

if i order from suncoast, they want $6 EACH.

i can't imagine the ones suncoast sells are THAT much better?!?!??!

i'm thinking i'llj us torder the stickers either from xenonmods or someone on ebay.

i decided to go with red calipers and white letters. for a while i was toying with teh idea of going yellow on my calipers...but after looking at a lot of pics online, i like the more "normal' red. yellow is a bit "much" for me. i like the fact that my car is very subtle looking - and red, while it will make the brakes standout more, is still a more subtle color for brake calipers.

i ordered the G2 kit. now i just need my stickers.

[23109VC]

are the "caliper" decals that suncoast sells something "special" designed for brake calipers or somehow hi temp resistant or are they just the exact same vinycl stickers that my local dealer sells in the parts department?

there is a Porsche dealer very close, and I may just buy the stickers from them - rather than order online and pay shipping - unless there is a "special" type of sticker that is MEANT for calipers???

i called the parts dept at hte local dealer and hte guy has "stickers" but he had no idea if they were for calipers or not...

anyone here know if there's anyh difference? any stickerw ill work or are they somehow thinner or specially made for the calipers?

The caliper stickers being sold are simple vinyl stickers. Nothing special.

If your dealer sells them and isn't ripping your head off like most dealers do, go for it.
