Default Caliper Decals >>>

These decals stand up to the high heat and really add the finishing touch to painted calipers, no matter what color you paint them.

They are designed to fit the front two calipers only (just like the OE Corvette calipers). They're available in the correct fonts for Camaro, Trans AM, Formula, Firebird and Grand Prix in 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 postage). Want extras for the future or have a friend with an F-body? Additional sets at the time of purchase are $15.

Randy, try doing a search on the various F-body forums. There's been a lot of info put out there on the topic of painting calipers. You'll find a lot of really good information (some better than others).

Mark...I love my decals. No problems at all, and they really set the 'hawk off.



or if that doesn't work...check my WebShots page...Byrdman's WebShots page

Mark...if you want to use my T/A decal for promotions, feel free to copy it and use it as needed.

Sorry guys I don't make them in colors anymore because the materials just don't hold up like the metallic films. I just don't want any disappointed people. Besides, if GM did our calipers this way like the Vette, they'd be machined aluminum.
