100% certain they say Brembo on the calipers. Think it's stamped on the upper inside part of the caliper just above the pad slot.

Huh?! Why would you want to do that?

That reminds me of a friend that about 14 years ago painted a center hood stripe on his C5 to make it look like a 67 big block hood stinger...and then painted "Stinger" in 1" letters on the side of the stripe so everyone would know what it was called.

They are brembo brakes. Not corvette brakes. And I'm getting them painted anyway.

How many times do I need someone to read that I have a corvette. It's already a given.

Brembo looks better IMO. I painted over the "Range Rover" on our SC Rover Sport Brembo brakes. Ordered the Brembo high-temp stickers and put them on instead. People actually noticed the brakes then.

I've been looking online. I'm trying to find the correct size and proper bream I decal for our bakes. Can't find anything promising.

A couple of CTS-V guys have done it, maybe you can find some info about stickers in these links.
