Is it just me or are brakes with your car's logo cut into it kind of tacky?

The caliper, no. The Rotor/Disk yea super tacky

Pretty tacky. Just like getting a vanity license plate with your car model on it.

If I can see the car’s name, logo, or trim level more than twice from the same angle, it’s tacky.

Beyond tacky and probably going to eat your pads alive.

Yeah, not sure what the thinking is there. You know what would be great? Lets cut a design in the rotor that will make the pads wear unevenly. Brilliant!

Wait until you see the pads.

Damnit, just imagine pads with STI logos on them. I can’t upload photos any more from work.

I know it’s tacky, and it must wear that brakes way faster, but I kind of like it.
Putting the logo on the disk AND the caliper is too much though

It’s tacky, yes, but really the holes are what bother me more because they’re more likely than the logo to cause the rotor to fail.

Back in the day I had super cool ATE rotors with the atom slot pattern on my Miata.

It’s cooler if the calipers say “Brembo”

Eh, everything has got Brembo brakes now. Wilwood on the other hand... I love their logo.

It’s true, but STi’s used to say Brembo not STi ...I have a set of Baer brakes i need to put on my other car...that’s a logo that’s not seen enough.
