Why did you put the stickers on backwards man? Paint looks nice though!

LOL. Yeah you're supposed to put masking tape over them when they are on the backing and pull the stickers off to put them on your calipers. I made a DIY. I will get a another set for free lol. Message me on Monday to remind me please.

I just put the text side on the caliper and pulled the backing off, it was very easy and they stuck! Lol. I'll need to find your DIY. If I messed up I'll pay for another set, no biggie.

FAIL...you're probably the only person to ever mess up putting on a decal.

I didn't even know you could put them on backwards...

It's ok man. Just use that as a practice. Getting the calipers off are the hard part. Now you have everything not as tight, it'll be easier the next time. I'll get you another set out, no charge. You'll have them before next weekend to try again.
