i saw the decals at afterthoughtsauto.com but it said that it was a pair for the front rotors for $20. So i dont really want to pay $40 for them but if i could get them cheaper then i would buy them.

You can't put decals on the rear calipers. Therefore you would only spend $20

i went with the black/silver decals... i was gonna go the red route which would look awesome but i was looking for the more low key look to blend in with the rest of the car. real easy to do if you dont want it super perfect. i did mine with the calipers attached. and cleared them with 5 coats.. so no chipping no fading as of yet.
