Dumb caliper question
Just noticed today that my 2004 rear disc calipers are "naked".
The front calipers say "Corvette" on them. The rear calipers look like there's just a clip there for something, but there's nothing there.
So, if there's supposed to be something on the rears, anybody got a place to get a replacement?
Normal eBay and Google searches really didn't bring anything up.

Rears are "naked", no lettering on rears.

The rear calipers have no lettering on them. Wish they did.

No lettering. I like the contrast between the front and rear calipers, when they're painted... otherwise they don't really show.

Thanks to all.
I never really noticed it until the other day and for some reason, it just looked "odd" that the rears would be so plain after they went to the trouble to "flag" the fronts.
Thanks.

rears are naked
Paint em red with duplicolor brush on and they look O.K. I lettered the front ones with white touch up paint and they look like a Z06 for less than $20.
