Default Where are the caliper decals?

I went to buy my caliper decals at xenonmods and all I could find were the saleen ones. What happened to the package with the running pony and mustang lettering. Did they sto carrying those?

I'll second that ... I just checked it out because I was going to order them too. I hope they're just out of them right now ...

Here's is a copy of my recent corespondence with them:

Hey there,

I've been telling everyone how great a deal your Mustang caliper decals
are, with the 4 different option per package, and no one can find them
on your site.
Did you discontinue them?

Thanks,

Jim

Their response:

Hi Jim - well it works like this. I, along with many other sellers, have
gotten stopped by Ford/Volvo/Jaguar of selling items with their
trademarks on them.

So, I can't sell a set of the Mustang caliper decals like I used to.

I am working on a way to legally get around the trademark issue, for
instance making a "custom text" section of my caliper decal page so
people can order whatever text they want, including "mustang". As far as
the actual pony logo goes, man oh man - that's gonna be a hard one but I
think I can maneuver around that too.

I'm going to be in talks with their attorneys within the next week about
it all, so don't lose hope. I may even be able to get licensed to sell
them again the way that I was and just pay royalties. I may have a
strong case since caliper decals aren't products that Ford/Volvo/Jaguar
sell anyway.

I'll post something on my caliper decal page for everyone to see.

thanks!

Well I guess that answers it then. Keep us posted on what is happening. Anyone have another source?? I'll probably just wait it out, he seems to have the best product.

You probably ordered them before they were removed from their site.
I received mine not too long ago as well and was suprised that they were no longer there.

I've had my decals for a month or so now and just jesterday got around painting my calipers. Do you put the decals onthe calipers and thats it? They don't discolor from the heat?

I don't know about long term, I haven't had mine on long myself.
But, the paint in the kit has ceramic resin, which should protect the decal a bit.
I'm thinking that the heat will make the decal adhere better, making it more permanant.
But we shall see...................
