I just wouldn't like the look of "Corvette" on my T/A

Anyone know for sure?

Yes, but the letters are raised and file off easily. A little Chassis Black powder coating and no one will ever notice that they are Vette parts.

All the ones I've seen do, including the Z06. Also the dealer shows only one part # for the calipers, no seperate part # for the Z06 which are red.

Yep, and the caliper design is exclusive to the Vette IOW: PBR doesn't sell that caliper for any other application..... I'm trying to figure an asthetically pleasing way of getting the letters off myself.....

The site that was given the other day for the brake conversion brackets had two different GM p/ns listed for the regular and red calipers.

Interesting, my local dealer could not find a seperate #.

Actually, I think the ZO6 calipers(the red ones) are $1 cheaper for some reason.
