Default New "PONTIAC" caliper decals
Decided to try something different than the horrendous and bulky "Trans Am" caliper decals and ordered a set of these from FourthCircleDesigns.com. I am really happy with the way they turned out.

Yea, PBR is the company that makes these calipers, (and yours too I believe) and on the Corvette the lettering is raised and milled. F-Bodies got the short end of the stick and have no lettering.

They look great for a spray can. Good job on an inexpensive simple aesthetic mod.

Looks good, would look way better with black or grey brackets.
