What decal to put back on powdercoated calipers?

[AbsolutHank]

One of my winter mods will be to get my brake calipers powdercoated red instead of black that I have now.

My question is, since everyone already knows its a Viper, should I put Brembo decals back on instead of the Viper logo? It's my understanding these are Brembo brakes...otherwise I absolutely wouldn't do that.

What are your thoughts?

Nothing is wrong with the look Dave, I just thought I'd take the oppurtunity to change things up a little

I recommend white hood vents.

This guy has good quality, very inexpensive decals for brakes.

Brembo, or go with the Viper image like the one on the nose badge.

If everybody already knows it's a Viper, then I'm sure that everybody will already know the brakes are Brembo's.

Many call my white hood vents and big rig Dodge stickers rice, but I call the badge change Euro rice with the product being of European origin.

I don't like changing badges. But in this case, it is a "legal" change with Brembo cast into the caliper LOL.

fwiw

i don't think them rice

loud, but tasteful

takes way more to turn a viper rice

Who's this "everyone" that already knows it's a Viper? We are talking about GenIII/IV's here. Most DON'T know it's a Viper, and far less would know they are Brembo's. I say go Brembo, not for this reason, but because it it correct and a one-off. That't the opposite of rice.

White hood vents were never correct. Draw your own conclusions there.

Mine aren't.
They're TRW.

Most of the salvage yards, like Xvipers.com will have factory red calipers in stock. No need to coat yours, just swap with hiim. Talk to Mike and see if he'll send you a set and refund you the core charge once your calipers are returned. Factory calipers will have the Viper logo on them.

Mike did a set for me in blue. I left the logo off, personal preference. I did a core exchange with him, so my car was down for just one day.

You can find Brembo stickers on Ebay, if you want.

According to the OP - see below - "everyone."

I have no idea who that includes.

And the hood vents have not nor will they ever be a manufacturer's badging. They are simply a functional body panel and their color lends itself to graphical design of the car when the color is changed from the adjoining panel color. Substituting "Viper" for "Brembo" on the calipers is a badge change, but per my comment in a previous post in this thread, "legal" in Dave's world.

Ryan I really don't think it's a big deal either way to be honest. If it were me since it is a stock part that came with the car I would leave the stock decal on it. If it was an aftermarket set of calipers and I wanted others to know it wasn't stock than I would change it.

Good luck buddy!

Do the decals withstand heat without discoloring?

They've always held up for me on my other cars

I put them on my brake covers and they held up fine. It's a better quality version of vinyl when used for brakes.
