The OEM logo actually is VERY sensitive to brake fluid and gets damaged very easily. We've not had any issues I can remember of the sticker falling off. Some logos are cleared over with powder coat.. those would be the solid only colors. The candy colors can't have another coat of powder on them to cover the sticker or it becomes too thick.

I just realized who started this thread. I bought calipers from you in 2014 for my used 2005 base coupe about 2 months after buying the car. Probably one of the best things I did to the car while I had it. You guys did excellent work. Don't know why red calipers are not included as OEM on all Corvettes. TPS Motorsports is a great vendor and it's great they are an official sponsor here.
