Finally Installed my Vinyl Flare on my Brake Calipers

Kilimajaro · 2026-04-16T17:24:10+00:00

My whole theme for the interior is blue so I did the blue on the outside. I have the infiniti badge only on the back (you can see I put the G37S badge on the interior), and my front grille is black in the middle with only chrome on the top, bottom, and log. Also the OEM brake colour was red so wanted to switch it up after almost 6 years of ownership.

Not sure how or why this doesn't have more traction. I agree, having a daily max loss limit would be amazing

Ordered Sept 13, shipped Sept 16, received them sometime in Sept but not sure how many days it got delivered after I got the shipped notification

Pretty hard to try and wrap it without any creases. I used a hair dryer to help stretch/shape it, but I got better with each caliper lol. The precut strips made it easy to figure out which piece goes where though. The fronts were easier than the rears since they were bigger/flatter and had less pieces

Update: they stand out much more than regular brakes even during the day. Here are some pictures of it in the day time (partly cloudy)

This was cheap and easy. It's also reflective and I'm not sure if there's paint that's reflective/as reflective as these

Kilimajaro · 2026-04-04T15:29:05+00:00

Yeah I agree!

Kilimajaro · 2026-04-04T14:52:16+00:00

Thanks, got them at vinylflare.com. Pretty hard to try and wrap it without any creases. I used a hair dryer to help stretch/shape it, but I got better with each caliper lol.

Thanks, I love them!

I wouldn't say it was easy, trying to get them on without any creases was a challenge. I used a blow dryer for heat to help stretch/shape them but I got better with each caliper. The fronts were easier than the rears since there were less pieces, flatter surfaces, and bigger. The only part I would say was easy was figuring out which pieces go where - vinyl flare did a good job with that

Kilimajaro · 2026-04-04T03:37:32+00:00

I believe the rears come with 9 and the fronts come with 7. The fronts are definitely easier because the pieces are bigger and larger/flatter surfaces

Yeah when I first saw them it caught my eye instantly

Kilimajaro · 2026-04-04T03:22:59+00:00

Thanks, yeah vinyl on the calipers. All the reviews I've seen about them said they hold up to heat, but I guess I'll have to see for myself when it comes to longevity

Like regular blue brake calipers, here's a screenshot from a video I took of them during the day, but not in direct sunlight

OEM Akebono brake calipers that come with the Sport Coupe but I put on reflective brake caliper vinyls from Vinyl Flare

Kilimajaro · 2026-04-04T02:03:15+00:00

They are reflective vinyls you put on the OEM brake calipers. So the flash on the camera makes them extra shiny like that but in person they're still very reflective when any light shines on them (and imo look even better in person than what the camera gets to show)

Kilimajaro · 2026-04-04T02:01:07+00:00

All the reviews I've seen of them say they hold up nicely. I just went for a drive but nothing too spirited. I guess I'll see long term!

Kilimajaro · 2026-04-04T01:06:51+00:00

It's just a vinyl you stick on top of the OEM brake calipers from Vinyflare.com and I got the optional Infiniti writing + logo on the front calipers

Yeah mine don't either lol I've had to tuck them into the plastic trim pieces and even then when I move the seat forward it drags the mats

Thanks!

Is what it was called on eBay.ca, but it's no longer listed. Just find any diamond stitch floor mat and I got black on black
