Not only does it need the decal, but they didn't disassemble the calipers, so they painted over the bolts as well...looks tacky in my opinion, but to each his own.

Oh that right! didn't realize that until you point it out, mines removed completely for the job so it looks 99% like the Performance BBK.

The lettering is painted on. Decals will just melt off if you are braking hard. My paint actually yellowed at the track, it gets that hot.
I like the idea, but the bolts should've been masked or removed. I have original performance brakes, after getting an incredible deal from Dan @ United BMW last year. |
