Default Caliper Decals

Anyone know where I can find some “corvette” decals that will fit the calipers on a 2014 Stingray? Curved and Red. I couldn’t find the right ones in a quick search. Thinking they might look good with my dark gray calipers, on silver car and chrome rims.

Second Roe-Graphics. I needed to replace the lettering on one front caliper. I tried eBay before I found these guys and the eBay stuff wasn't even a close match. I wanted it to match the other side so I gave them the exact dimensions and height of lettering and they made them up for me and didn't charge any extra. Great people to work with, I can't say enough good things about them. I haven't applied the lettering yet because the car is in storage but they gave me extras in case I make a mistake. They said I could spray a high temperature clear paint over top and they would last the life of the car. The letters are on one backing strip but are separate when you remove the backing strip. Just for info, the calipers are powder coated from the factory so there is no paint code to match and the letters are powder coated also. I spent a lot of time on the phone with GM trying to match the original color before finally getting this information. I'm sure this is more info than you wanted but I figured it might help someone else out. Good luck.

I put these on my car in 2015 when I painted the calipers and they are still in perfect shape after 20,000 miles. In fact, I worked with them on the design and the picture is from my car. I also like they give you 3 front and 3 rear, just in case you ruin one.

Just make sure you order the right size. I chose the middle size for my GS and they are too large.

Thanks for the info. I feel like I want some red but I want it to be somewhat subtle. I have a black and red pinstripe. With the chrome ‘14 rims I think doing the calipers red might be too much...too visable thru the rims. But I’m thinking just adding the red decal in there, might be enough. Thoughts?

I was wanting to add red stickers over the "Corvette" on my black calipers to add a splash of color. But, the stickers were too big. I measured before I completed the order too. Not sure what the deal is.

They will make them to your specification with no extra charges. You need to give them the straight line distance across the bottom and the height of the letters. My factory fronts were 0.25" tall.

Curious if it is possible to put Corvette lettering over the existing corvette logo on the calipers, obviously they would have to be same size. Wonder if the lettering is all one piece or each letter is individual? I too would like to add a little color to the calipers W/O painting the entire caliper. Thanks

I doubt you will get an exact enough match to be able to completely hide the original lettering without getting them custom made. The letters are individual but together on one backing. I don't see why you couldn't cut them out and apply them individually. If you get exact dimensions of your existing letters they may able to help you out at Roe. Good luck.

Well, it was gonna be tough, but I think it can be done. The sticker came all in one piece. They were not individual. You could cut them apart, but I think keeping them together and laying it over is easier.
They're cheap, so I figured if it didn't work, I wasn't out a lot.
