Default Caliper decals.

About to do the brakes and I am going to respray the calipers while I’m in there. I have at least a half days work cleaning the inside of the wheels from brake dust so it’s a good time to to paint for me. I feel like 70k miles of scrubbing the **** out of these wheels and calipers is accelerating the wear on them so I ordered some Tom’s pads. I went with the Tom’s solely because I want to say I have Tom’s parts on my car, don’t lie, everyone wants to say they have Tom’s parts on their car😉.

Who has popped brembo decals on and where did you get them. What size and curved or not? I’m thinking of staying black with red brembo decals. Black car. Would be cool to have a L logo and brembo after that or the full brembo logo followed by the F logo.

I got mine on eBay too! Made sure to get the heat resistant one. Picked the one that was slightly smaller so the caliper frames it. Went for a straight one since not sure how curved ones are vs the actual caliper, didn't want to gamble on it. Got the blue super close to the F badge

I got hi-temp ones off ebay also. Came in a pack with various sizes so I just picked the ones that fit best on the front and the rear. Every stock car image I could find that came with factory Brembo brakes all have a straight logo oriented towards the center of the wheel. This was consistent whether the caliper was on the inboard or outboard side of the wheels.

Decal was installed after clear coat on mine, but I know a bunch of other people apply them then clear coat over them for a smooth finish. I was on the fence on Brembo or the F logo, but couldn't find the F logo that looks factory so stuck with Brembo.
