Budget Akebono kit

**** , that's a good deal. I paid 600 for used calipers off of some Infiniti. Then I had to clean them up and paint them too.

Did you throw an emblem back on? If so, did you clearcoat over it?

I sure did. I ordered Akebono decals from eBay. I put on 4 coats of red, then the decals, and then 3 coats of clear. Then cured the paint in the oven as per the instructions (for some reason the wife didn't like that).

Has anyone seen the outward facing side of Caliper and is it identical in shape to the factory Akebono's? All images online of 19-6232 and 19-6233 shown the inward facing side of the caliper only. Pic attached.

I found this image on ebay of a Centric Part#142.421594. Wonder if it's the same part?
