Default 2014 brake question

Does anyone know if the corvette letters are raised on the new brembo brakes? I am asking because I would rather paint them myself for 40 bucks or so instead of 600 to have them powder coated . I painted them on my c6 and the process was a lot of fun and turned out excellent.

Are the letters raised on the current Z06 and ZR1? Thanks again.

They appear to be printed flat/flush.




No shadow under the lettering and the shadow on top doesn't change over the letters.

Similar to the current C6Z brakes.

Yea they are monsters. I also do not think these brakes would be good to self paint without the raised letters. Guess I will just spend 600 for the color.

I going with the black that comes with the Z51 option. I personally don't get excited about a profound brake color.

Another way to go is to paint them yourself and follow up with some of these decals:
