Branded Calipers

Postby Dragonheart » Fri Jun 20, 2008 11:34 pm

Is this a bit much? Its only a photoshop image, I saw Ferrari brakes and they had the white writing with black background and thought it might be a nice touch to do the same for the FTO. It'll be tough to get it spot on, is it even worth it does anyone reckon or am I just going crazy.....

The word mitsubishi or the diamond yoke? Got any pics?
I have a cunning plan on how to do it but need to do a sample piece first to see if it actually works.

My personal opinion - I wouldn't overly embelish the FTOs standard calipers with decals, I don't think they're big enough to draw attention to when paired with certain wheels.

That was one thing I was thinking of, the rear calipers especially are tiny and you wouldnt even see what it was written on them. Plus I'm not sure how much would be seen through the alloy. Ah well, back to the drawing board, I'll think of something unique one of these days! Thanks for the feedback.
