Thought I would get some input from folks on the site. I thought about getting a blue Bob White decal on the bumber, painting my calipers blue, and then some door sills with blue letters. I imagine it would look pretty good, I always see red, somethi different I suppose. Any thoughts?

Splash it with colors and see what it looks like. It's your car and can easily be changed back if you don't like it.

If you like it. Post up pictures.
If you don't like it. Post up pictures.

There are a few with blue painted calipers. May they will post up some pictures.

Sounds like a cool accent color IMO tmhitchens1, especially since blue has been a FMC staple regarding performance parts; I for one look forward to see some PIC's of your work. :)

I had Bob White decals on my bumper and they eventually started to peel off. I washed my car dried it before adding the decals. I took them off and now looking for something different to put there. Your choice tho.

Almost any shade of blue should work with silver. As some have said, there are quite a few Marauders with blue calipers and/or inserts. Post up your pics when you decide!

I decided to go blue calipers as well http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/10/04/sa9uve9a.jpg

But yeah whatever you decide is good. It's what makes your marauder yours

IIRC, he was trying to figure out how much time and effort it would take to do the same treatment on Dana's car.

That, or he was wondering why DBP looks so much better than JPB in the sunlight.... ;)

I got mine from a member here a few years back, he bought them new and never had them installed. I'm thinking they were under $200 for the four rotors and ceramic pads.

Check out e-bay. I don't see RI Concepts listed, but there are several other options shown:

R1 Concepts do sell on ebay. I have R1 Concepts slotted, zinc coated ones that I purchased on ebay last year for $258 for all 4 shipping included. It was not their highest graded rotors, but I was on a tighter budget at the time. They seem to work just fine especially with the TCE brake line kit.

Don't think Marty is selling the stickers through the shop site, PM him directly for info, or to order.
