This is really cool! I guess they saw enough of my caliper decals at car shows across the country to warrant a tech article on how to detail your calipers and apply the decals. A lot of the articles detailed instructions were copied directly from my instruction sheet so the information is very good. Their methods of painting the caliper is a bit strange but the outcome is pretty good overall. I'd suggest painting the entire caliper. The only thing they forgot was to mention where people could get them so I guess I'll have to. You can get them here: http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/brakcaldec.html or directly from me at mark2000ss@attbi.com. Same product and price either way.

This is the issue that the article is in:

Very nice to hear!
Looking forward to seeing future items.
Can you list everything you offer?
How about making Fuel Rail Covers?

Cool!! Those decals are great. When are you going to do other things? Glad to hear you got the license bull cleared up!

Congrats on being in the article.

It would have been nice of them to tell the readers were to GET the decal, instead of just showing it and how to put it on.

And yes, the not painting the whole caliper, whats up with that?

Nothing's wrong. They updated the look of the whole site several weeks ago. Try this link: www.afterthoughtsauto.com

Mark,

Just tried again ( with your link this time ) and no go! Nothing comes up on my monitor. Just a blank screen. [confused] Maybe Deanne has baned me from the site.... [Frown]

BTW.... congrats on the decal artilce in Camaro World. Went to my local speed shop to pick up a copy and they tell me that they have never heard of that mag. [Frown] I have a set of your caliper decals. Still haven't put them on though. [Embarrassed]

Thanks. Hey, get busy and get those installed! [Razz] The magazine isn't a regular on the shelf type rag. You have to subscribe online or something.

That's strange that you can't get on the Afterthoughts site. There's no way you're banned. Only SLP does that. [Roll Eyes]

Try this: http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/ or try to type it in yourself. What internet service are you on?
