Just got out of the dealer for them to replace the Calipers. What, they are actually brembos but Nissan put their name on the calipers?

No gried at all. And your request did not work by the way. sorry.

Now, I'll give them a few days then I will be back to them to talk about that rear bumper. It has already been on paper that they will touch it up or repaint it. If they can replace my calipers which I'm sure it's worth more than replacing my bumber instead of touching it up, I'm sure they can't denny my request.

Again, Conell Nissan here in Southern California has done honest work so far me.
