I think this would look better than the Porsche on your calipers.

I cant remember, but I didnt think Porsche manufactured their own calipers, arent they Brembo or something like that. Kinda like the Vette ones saying 'vette???

The camaro emblems would follow this line of thought I think.

BTW if it didnt look right, its only a sticker, wouldnt cost much to find out

Yeah Rob
I did see those but The temps that I am seeing across these brakes i think it wouldn't stay on . And yeah a long time ago Brembo did make brakes for Porsche. But Not no more It is all in house now.

How hard was it for them to mount the porshce calipers on a camaro. Did they line up or did they have to drill. Just wondering?

Movit mounted a cnc machined bracket that mounted to the caliper ppoints on the spindle and then the caliper to the bracket.

have you ever tested your breaking times with the porsche brakes on there. I bet you could get quite a few extra feet in breaking.

No Actual Measurement . But I do get a kick out of deep braking people that like to try and hang with me on a off ramp.
