here you go man...

VinylDecals.com | Akebono Brake Caliper Decal Set

So get the calipers painted, shoot clear coat, then apply the decals, and shoot another coat of clear. That should be there for-EVER!

The green looks pretty good. I believe Igor (180), had his done a similar color. This is what I propose. I know the perfect color for you; I will have to check at work to find out what vehicle it's from, but it's a bright orange with yellow or gold pearl coat. I would go with that and the "akebono" in black. I will try to remember to find the color chip tomorrow and post a pic of it in this thread so you can see it. It would be totally phenom for a caliper color on your car.

I've seen every other color caliper out there, why not orange?? You could get away with whatever on your black car. Just depends on how courageous you are..... BTW- You need to have those CV1's powdered a bronze color
