Z logo on calipers?
 
Has anyone had their sport calipers powdercoated and put just the "Z" logo on their as opposed to nissan or akebono. Similar to how the CTS-V has their V logo on the Calipers. I am just curious how the Z logo only might look, because I'm thinking it may have to be a little small on the caliper, but I like to be a little different if possible. Pictures would be great if anyone has them

you can photoshop it, but i think a single letter is going to be too small... might even look like a gash or some scratch.

why not put 370Z instead if you're going to do that?

personally, id leave it alone.

Leave it alone how? haha If i have them powdercoated I'm not technically leaving them alone and I likely wont leave them blank. I would like some sort of logo on them. But I have actually considered "370Z" front and simply the z34 "Z" on the rear since its a single circle area as opposed to a dual circle surface with a thinner bar between them limiting the height (I guess you could call it" of a logo Just toying with ideas that are different from the nissan and akebono logos so often used

Actually, paying closer attention to it... the rear caliper also has a similar thinner surface area for an elongated logo, so the "Z" only logo would really get tiny on the rear. That being said anyone done "370Z" on their Calipers?

Well thats not the issue, I am definitely going to powder coat them, I am just up in the air as to which logo I would prefer and just wanting to see a different logo than the two always used.

No he hasn't, but I was planning on getting him to do mine, luckily I'm a short drive away so I can avoid shipping though :) I've seen plenty of Mikes work firsthand and it looks great and holds up awesome.
