Default And for those who did, how did you handle that rectangular bump on the caliper?

Will the sticker go around it or does it sit well over it?

Default the bump isnt a problem. it will go right over it. also FYI

you dont need to buy the $30 paint for the calipers, just get the $6 high temp gloss from pep boys ( or anywhere else) with the high gloss clear... $3??? it looks great, and you save money.

Default No clear either.

The last time I used clear it yellowed and looked nasty...probably wouldn't notice it on black though. I was actually trying to go for a matte black. The paint is actually called "satin black", it looks more shiny in photos than in person. Those stickers have over 8000 miles on them in that photo.

Here's a pic of when I first did them:
