If you're refinishing the caliper, you will probably have to strip all the paint and re-paint / powdercoat. Then you can choose your own decal...

But I'll stick with RS on mine

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm keeping the 'RS' logo. I'm just painting the calipers a different colour and thought I'd try to reuse the 'RS' stickers. As it turns out eBay has an abundance of these

I'm going to do something absolutely wild and leave mine stock! EVERYBODY seems to have red calipers.....the first thing that draws the eye is the red paint. I never see the nice wheel that surrounds it. Boring. My 2 cents, and phooey.
