they should be fine. I honestly don't think that just sticking an H on there is really going to look good. I'd run the whole Hybrid name. Would look slick!

The issues there would be:

1. That may be too much chrome on a caliper cover.
2. For some reason all the letters are individual except for the 'yb' sequence which is one continuous part. So proper curvature would be impossible to achieve.

I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying... don't use the chrome letters, LOL. That would look tacky as all hell. I think just sticking an "H" in the middle of the caliper is tacky as well. Just wouldn't look right. Wish I could explain it in better detail to help you envision this...but...

If they are going to engrave them, engrave the entire HYRBID name. I would do the entire H as engraved and the YBRID with outlined letters. Fill the engraved areas of the HYRBID with lime green. The middle of the YBRID would be black, just outlined in green. The caliper cover in black.

If that is too costly. have an airbrush artist airbrush the entire HYBRID name on the caliper.

Cool thing about an airbrush artist is that they can get the microchip effect of the H like in this pic:

Actually... I do. He was on Biker Build-Off a few times. Local down here. He isn't exactly cheap though.

I vote black for the theme of your truck Serge... If u were "murdered out" (ja rule voice) id go green to add a little pop. However I think the covers are kinda corny. Even if they dont have brembo on them. Its either stock or bbk...
