Mazdaspeed on brake?

[snooky]

so my buddy bought these fave brembo, caliper decals for his G35, the brakes actually look good but I still cant stop thinking that there fake...

I was wondering, do you guys think it would look good for a frshley painted pair of out calipers with a Mazdaspeed high temp decal?


im trying my best to do small lil mods, that dont make the car look ricey..

let me know waht you think.

Gotta say no. Problem is our calipers are not once piece billet items that would lend themselves to being branded. While they are very good brakes - its pretty obvious they are OEMs that were not specially designed for/by Mazdaspeed just for this car. You really need a flat surface for a decal to look like it should be there and a one piece caliper. Dropping a "mazdaspeed" decal on a caliper made by Ford (or whoever makes it, this is still a debated topic) is like dropping a "GT-R" emblem on a 240SX.

Rice.

dropping a gtr emblem on a 240sx??? wtf?? our cars are mazdaspeed models, and the brakes are from a volvo s60 or s40r. in my own opinion it wouldn't be rice, it'd be hot if you could pull it off mint. because i was actually thinking of doing the same thing on mine. except it will be onto mine. i think it'd be ricey looking if you had like out of proportion colors being used. i plan on having my caliper black with an aluminum mazdaspeed or speed6 design onto it. calipers aren't small at all an it can definitliey be done. i've done the same amount of letters on this kids civic one time and it looked mint.


p.s. i hate honduhs.

IF there from a volvo s60 then there is nothing special bout them IMO...and im pretty sure there was never an S40R..just a S40 T5 AWD

i wasn't sure, i just know that there's a large thread somewhere on this forum all about what parts are from what on the ms6. if anyone finds it, post it up lol, maybe it got deleted or something. anyway, its posted int here where the calipers are from.

but are those stickers?

 

[RevLimitLaunch]

instead of wasting the time with a sticker, just paint the caliper the color you want the logo to be, let it dry as long as possible, then slap the sticker on and paint again. let it dry for a couple hours and peel the sticker off. if you pull it off perfect it should look good, better than a decal especially.

Those are from a regular Mazda6 right? I don't think the speed6 has enough room to do this...otherwise I would seriously consider it.

I believe someone was actually selling the decals at one point. All you have to do is apply a few coats of clearcoat after putting the sticker on so that it doesn't look like a sticker anymore.

Any updates on the paint, sticker, remove sticker theory? I would love to see one done....

I was thinking of painting mine black with a silver/gray sticker.

As I mentioned before, the speed6 calipers are a different design and don't have enough surface area for this. I think the best approach is paint, sticker, clearcoat.

can you clear coat ur calipers after painting them?

do u think it would protect the paint better?
