Lol. Yeah u have already been thinking that. I don't care really that it will say it for a little bit. It will be a nice conversation piece when people ask. But I will figure out something to change it down the road

Just FYI, the corvette lettering is screened on. Hit it with a light sanding and then polish the caliper back to its luster. Adios corvette lettering!

Yellow against black looks REALLY good, but it would kill me to have parts reading corvette on a vehicle that's not a corvette.

But it does look sick back there!

I am going to try to test and sand the corvette symbol off. If I can I will do a Escalade symbol on it the same font as the corvette

cant wait to see how these perform! Where did you end up getting the calipers from? Do all orders on the brackets come with the pins and pads?

I got the Calipers from Ebay. But no the brackets do not come with pads and pins. The private seller that was selling them added it to the deal.

Ok so test fited them on the Beltech spindles. They don't fit pefect. I have to grind down some of the spindle.. But very little. I actually started to grind one down and really didn't take long before it almost fit but my grinder took a shit. So I got it to basically sit almost flush with the spindle. But I put on the stock rotors and test the caliper and one of my rims.. One issue I might run into is spacing with the rim. I might need to do a spacer on the wheel. But I will find out more once I actually mock it up correctly with correct rotors. But here are some pics
