No offense meant to anyone who has done that, but I think it's just silly... It seems similar to putting a FRAM decal on your car when you put in an OEM replacement oil filter.

No offense meant Ilan... I wasn't saying it looks bad, just that it was superfluous. I guess I'm just to functionality-oriented to appreciate the automotive decorative arts. If a modification doesn't improve a car's performance, I generally don't do it.

At least you didn't stick a Brembo label on the factory calipers.

I am Not offended, I like them. But you are not functionality-oriented or you would have gotten lightweigth 15" rims ;)

17" rims give you better cornering than 15" rims (assuming the same tire type), but less acceleration. Being in PA with windy roads I was going for the handling over acceleration. Plus, the 17s I bought were cheaper (~$370 shipped) than lightweight 15" rims -- I forgot to mention that one of my other criteria is cost. ;)

Anyway, back to the brake caliper stickers -- it's good to see that they stay on through road grime / water and other abuse.
