Default Caliper badges?

Would anyone put these on their brakes. Dont know how well they would stay. Just thought it would look kinda neat on the calipers like the corvettes have theirs.

Since when is bfranker not a sponsor? That's news to me because I see people post links to his site almost daily. Search brent franker and you'll find his website. Here are mine:

I really don't think he ever was one, but either way he is not on the sponsor's list:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsors.php

...he could have been one in the past and decide not to continue to be one. But either way, he is not one now, and the site policy is to not post non-sponsor contact info.

If people post it daily and the other mods slip and don't catch it, that does not make it right to continue to post non-sponsor info.

Peace,
Craig.

Oh no Crager, I didn't mean it like that. I just never knew he wasn't a sponsor. I'll remember now not to post the link for next time. Thanks for the info
