Nice to know that Memorial Day gives us military types four days off. I considered doing the black caliper / red lettering combination but I don't think it livens things up enough for me. I'm more than likely going to go with the gold caliper / black lettering combination. I know it has an STI feel but I must admit that it does look pretty good.

Looks good. Forgot to remove the middle section on the letter E I see? I noticed this just in time before applying my stickers and was able to remove the middle section prior to applying.

Ebay is where I got mine. It's pretty much called copywright infringement but it works:

I have a couple sets of RED and a couple sets of DARK RED Brembo stickers I could pat ways with.......They are the same ones I used on my calipers in the picture. I measured the stock ones and had them cut to the same dimensions.

Let me know if you need some and we can work something out.
