I like it. The letters arent paper or plastic, and they are really done nice. If you want a cheap classy appearance upgrade to your front brake calipers, I recommend it.

Looks good, Rob.

Are the letters connected, or are they individual pieces??

Looking sharp indeed !
Roy now has serious competition

Are those letters decals ?

...made out of what looks like aluminium, or at the very least, a thin (in my case brushed look) metal. The letters are individually cut. All you do, is trim the excess paper away, peel off the backing, and press it on, then you lift off the other piece of paper, and the letters stay on the caliper.

It is a subtle change, that really catches your eye. 20 bucks, isnt cheap, but I've spent that before, and didnt get as good of results.

That's for both calipers, though, right??

Rob I will say that it looks quite Sano and Factory in appearance. Too bad GM does not pick up on things Like this.

If I ever get this brake dust situation taken care of, I might get some. What is the website, or email address??

Its somewhere on this board, I posted it awhile back suggesting it to Roy. If I remember right, you didnt like them or something like that.

I've solved the brake dust "situation", I use the "bucket of water and soap" modification. It seems to help not only the wheels, but the calipers also.

No new times, after mod, yet.

Your problem must not be as significant as mine, and believe me, I wash the wheels every 2 days!!

I just painted the calipers black, 'cause I was sick of worrying about keeping the red clean!!

I guess I dont have the brake dust problem, because I cant reach the incredible speeds of the LS1 ........J/K!!

Seriously, brake dust is a necessary evil. Unless you changed pads, we have the same thing, and mine dust about normal. Way more here, than they ever did in Europe.

What say other LS1'ers, do your front brakes more than normal?

And hey, if it gets to bad, just take 'em off!!!

Yeah my LS1 make way more brake dust than my 95 Formula did even with the Performance Friction Carbon-Metallic pads!!!

I wash the wheels, go for a spin and they are full o dust again!?!

Roy · **Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2001 7:43 am

I never had much of a problem with the stock pads on mine dusting. It is when I switched to the Durastops is when the the dust was flying, but damn the braking improved.

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 19, 2001 8:28 am

Yeah, apparently that's the thing, the better the stopping power, the more dust flies!!

Oh well, I guess I can't complain, I could be without brakes.
