7500?! wow, that's a lot of brakes!

That's what I was quoted for front and back with drilled slotted rotors! What's a more accurate price?

decals wise, don't worry, any would do. just those normal stickers from ebay will do just fine. the key is the powder coating / paint. on my old gs400, i used 3 bucks high temp engine enamel to paint the calipers, put on the stickers, and then put on clear coat. (3 coats each). some 6 yrs later, everything was still like new

fully cleaning the calipers before painting is very important
