That would put my street cred at a total of .087. I need all I can get.

Ya the fitment is all wrong.

For those that don't know, I believe RR Racing shaves the Wilwood logo off the calipers then they add a plate with their sticker to the area they shaved, or perhaps the logo is embossed on the plate; I can't remember. It is an option to retain the Wilwood logo. I decided to go with the RR Racing plates because it was more subtle than the Wilwood logo. I have had any problems with my setup, but that is surprising because I didn't think they would last.

If I was in the OP's position I would add some GT86 or Toyota/Subaru/STI logo or something else even better.

Yeah, either the Wilwood or RR stickers were an option. RR sent me non-powder-coated brakes first, and they had the Wilwood logo. I went with the RR stickers for the final product.

After loosening my e-brake, my rear temps have improved significantly. I have yet to apply the new stickers, but I think they'll hold. I'm not planning to clear-coat over them anymore. I did some research and found a lot of concerns with bubbling, clear coat adherence, and discoloration.

The only casualty of the experience is my Wedssport Blue Light Chrome wheels, which are chipping on some of the outer spokes due to the heat. From what I've found, there are no options to repair them =[

This thread got me thinking, and since I'd just painted my calipers flat black I ordered a batch of these this morning. Thought about doing 'OEM' but went with 'BRAKES'.
