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.

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

When I saw the instructions I knew they were Marks, congrats big guy! Posted by 99 HOSS (Member # 109) on :
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?

What's up with Afterthoughts? I haven't been able to logon in weeks. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Mark,
Just tried again ( with your link this time ) and no go! Nothing comes up on my monitor. Just a blank screen. Maybe Deanne has baned me from the site....
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. I have a set of your caliper decals. Still haven't put them on though. Posted by Mark IXZD 150 (Member # 235) on :

Thanks. Hey, get busy and get those installed! 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.
Try this: http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/ or try to type it in yourself. What internet service are you on?
