Hey, I'd like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and interest in the caliper decals I've been producing. So many of you have expressed how great they look on your cars and I'm really glad to have had the opportunity to offer these to all of you. This project has turned out top be a real success and I owe a grateful "thank you" to all of you who've purchased them from me in the past and in the future as well.

I've noticed a couple people offering similar decals lately. Copying is a sincere form of flattery so I'll just leave it at that.

Do you demand the finest for your car? If you want the original metallic caliper decals, look no further than these. They stand up to the high heat and really add the finishing touch to painted calipers, no matter what color you paint them. Others may be cheaper by a few dollars but you remember the saying, "You get what you pay for...". Quality is top notch as many of you have stated and I stand behind them.

They are designed to fit the front two calipers only (just like the OE Corvette calipers) as the rear calipers are too small for a decal to fit and look good. They're available in the correct fonts for Camaro, Trans AM, Formula or Firebirdin a brushed chrome finish. This finish simulates the OE machined aluminum look of the Vette brakes which is what inspired me to create these.

If you would like information on how to get a set, please e-mail me at mark2000ss@attbi.com They're $20 for a pair which will do both front calipers (includes shipping). Want extras for the future or have a friend with an F-body? Additional sets at the time of purchase are $15.

Once again, thanks and don't forget to get yours while they're still available.

Drool...drool. Funny you post this now...I'll be painting my calipers today and using your decal kit as well. (Also doing braided brake lines too.)

OK, I can't take this anymore...time to go get the car up on jack stands!

I'll post pics when I'm done.

BTW, while the pics of mine standing still don't do them justice, one thing I like about the silver 10 spokes is the way the spokes kind of disappear while driving, and then my calipers and decals look really cool!

No, the rear calipers are too small to fit anything worthwhile. Besides, OE Vette calipers only have logos on the fronts.

I painted my calipers red and got the chrome Camaro ones and they look absoluetly fantastic. The writing is perfect sized and they stand up to anything. I have no idea what would make these things come off. The only problem is keeping the letters and the calipers clean from brake dust.

Due to the crisis with @HOME and their chapter 11, my e-mail address is no longer valid and I have no internet connection at home. It should only be a few days (I hope) until AT&T can straiten this mess out and I'll get back online.

So... maybe people requesting info can post in a thread about it (maybe this one) and those of you who have one of my e-mails can forward it on to them. That would be great and completely optional of course, but I'd really appreciate it. It should be straightened out sometime in the coming week.

Orders coming in will still be sent out, I just can't e-mail for now.

Thanks.
Mark

Mark,

I would like to get your input on a suggested caliper decal color for my new 35th Anniversary SS convertible which should be in any day now. When will I be able to place an order?

Thanks

Is it an LE? If so, the calipers come black anodized but IMO leave something to be desired. Paint them black and go with the brushed chrome decals for a 'factory' look.
