If you haven't already and you are just doing brakes do not remove the pins. Horror stories here of guys following the spec and the pins backing out destroying a wheel. Remove the caliper and install the padlets that way.

This was my first thought also...many stripped heads and problems. Much easier to just remove the caliper...best to consider those pins to be permanent.

Thanks cclive and SLOWRYDE! I was exploring all avenues. I'm going to change the color of my calipers from silver to red. I thought about powdercoating my calipers and the guy I talked to locally said they had to be completely disassembled to do that correctly. I'm leaning toward buying the G2 kit and doing them myself and saving a ton of money in the process. I was able to buy the GS/Z06 caliper decals cheap enough so that's probably be the way I go.
Thanks again for the replies, deeply appreciated!
