Where can I find metal emblems for my calipers. I don't want any cheap vinyl, that looks like cheap garbage. I see this guy from another forum did his, looks pretty good. There's got to be a company that makes or carries'em. Any clue?
Would really appreciate the help, been searching for a bit now.

Probably custom. I know I have never seen them offered anywhere. One concern I'd have with that is the adhesive getting hot & lettin the emblem loose inside my wheels while driving. At least with the vinyl you can stick them on & clear coat over them. that keeps them looking new & will also keep them from peeling off.

Never thought about putting clear coat to protect the vinyl, do you suggest a clear powder coat?
I want to go black calipers and shiny lettering for calipers.

No clear coat... just the reflective vinyl decals.
If I recall, I got them from the ws6 store.
Here are a couple of other vendors:

All I used on mine was this:
1 coat Duplicolor adhesion promoter
2 light coats Duplicolor caliper paint
applied decals
Next time around I'm gonna clear them though. I drive my car daily year round & the vinyl is starting to peel up at the edges. you can't expect unprotected vinyl to last under those circumstances.
