I bought my 10' GS brand new,I don't have raised letters. Matter of fact I have never seen one with raised letters. Are you talking about raised letters in the metal casting? Then no.

The raised letter are only on the smaller standard calipers on the base models. What you got is what all the GS have. If you do a search, you will find post on people having to buy the decals when they paint or powder coat their calipers.

What's the part # for punctuation?

GS calipers don't have the raised letters as noted. Mine are light gray with red lettering.

Dale the calipers you recieved are the correct calipers and you should get the correct decals for them today or tomorrow. The calipers probably cost quite a bit more than the ones that have the raised letters on them too! ?Post up pics of them so we know what you recieved!

Dale, Dale, Dale. Don't let a little good natured joking get your goat. Especially when you misspelled the title to the thread. And what's that crap about your uncle jacking off a horse? Personally, these guys brake me up!
