Default opinions on caliper decals wanted (good or bad)

I have C5 Z06 calipers on the front of my SS. I got the calipers from where i work (Oreilly auto parts), they were remanufactured (paid 80$ for both with my discount, and yes they are ZO6 calipers) and they company that does it "defaces" the calipers and taked the powercoating off. i have them painted red now but im about to redo them. Im going to sand them down smooth and put a decal on them but i cant decide if i should get corvette decals or camaro ss decals. all input is welcome

I think it looks retarded to have it say Corvette on a Camaro, even if they are true Vette calipers. I vote for Camaro SS decals.

Since it's on a Camaro I'd get the f-body stickers.

If the Corvette was still cast into the caliper that's one thing, but if it's not I wouldn't go putting the 'Vette decal on there.

Be proud of that SS!

I'm not a fan of "Corvette" on Camaro brakes either. To me, it looks too much like Corvette envy.

He knows it's not a vette, which is why he asking......

If the casting still has corvette on it, and is legeble, why go through the hassle of smoothing it out. If it's 100% smooth then stick them ss stickers on it.
