How did you get the writing on there? I considered doing something like taping them and then trying to freehand the BMW using a razor, but I know how critical I am and I never would have been happy. If it's a stick, I'm past the 1 week window before I can apply the clear coat, so I could seal the sticker on the calipers. I'll post pics of my w/ black hats and hardware later.

BMW EXTREAM HI-TEMP CALIPER DECALS STICKERS : eBay Motors (item 120535856747 end time Apr-25-10 21:15:33 PDT) or BMW HI-TEMP CALIPER DECALS : eBay Motors (item 280368865819 end time Apr-04-10 09:05:45 PDT) - Same seller? How long have they lasted for you, and did you clear coat over them as well? I'd just be afraid of a degreaser or something causing them to peel off.

Here are my before and afters...I'm quite happy and haven't driven the car for a week to let them cure completely per the cans recommended directions.

Yup same seller.Had mine for three years.. No clear/top coat, just peel and stick.

The font and spacing is all wrong, if they could clone the 135i caliper font/design style I buy it in a heart beat.

Are you referring to the font and spacing of the sticker or the caliper you posted? If you're referring to the sticker, I think the font is fine, and spacing can be easily fixed when applying the sticker.

I bought a set for the 7 and X today.

^^ Did you order the same ones in the ebay link?

m5james 03-31-2010 12:33 AM

I've edited the post on my other computer and haven't finished posting the Photobucket pics :) I found another ebay seller who is doing them for $7.50 each shipped, EXACT same ad, word for word...just a different seller name.
