Where do you get the decal or stencil?

Denalio,

Check out this website for the BMW decals. Plenty of colors to select from.

Instead of painting, what do you guys think of these plastic covers - I am assuming they are high heat resistance?

Thanks for the tip, good find. I am just concerned those decals will peel off. The other option is to paint using a stencil. Anyone know where to buy a BMW paint stencil?

Thanks to everyone for there vote and opinions. I am still indecisive as to what color to go with. I am leaning towards black that way it will blend in. The rotor hats silver. Once the weather warms up here in Ontario I will tackle this project.

The standard calipers aren't very good looking and I think NYND is right -unless you've actually purchased Brembo's or other calipers in a different color why draw attention to them?
