I emailed the guy that runs http://www.xenonmods.com/ and he's willing to do some stuff for us.
This is his email:
Looks like there's quite a bit of interest in the Caddy caliper decals.
We have two options for the text of the decal. I can try to make it the
script logo, or I can make it in block lettering like the new Escalade
and CTS lettering.
The script may prove to be too hard to do, so here's where you guys come in.
I need someone to measure the space on the caliper that we have for the
lettering, and then if possible tell me the arch.
Also - if the CTS calipers are similiar (or the same) as some I'm
already doing (Camaro, TransAm for instance) that would make life a LOT
easier.
I suspect I won't be able to do the script because of the size
limitation. I can also do "CTS" in a sort of "GTP" font like on the
Grand Prix caliper decals. Check that out too.
Let me know what you can find out, and if you can use any more info from me.
thanks!

So basically if someone can get the dimensions we can respond to him and see what he can do. Check out the site as well to see the similar products he mentioned.
I am not mechanical at all, so if someone knows or can get the dimensions that would be great. |

The GTP ones would look pretty cool as CTS, maybe if someone knows or can measure their calipers we could even get the Cadillac script done.
He also does alot more and has emailed me other ideas of things he could do. |

I got my Camaro decals from them. They stood up pretty good. I was going to see if they could do a Caddy crest. It might not be possible, but I thought it would look good centered undernieth, like how the SS is on the Camaro decal. Or, if they can only do the CTS logo, the crest could be in front of the letters? |

Anyone who ordered one of our vinyl sets and has seen our die-cut 8th Day logo can attest that minute detail is no problem for us.
The only question is how small can we make the script and still be visible?  Quote:

Caliper set details and pricing will be available in the 8th Day Creations section of the forum the day after Christmas (Tuesday the 26th).
Will have a few designs to choose from, and as always, you may PM me for unique custom work.

I would definetly rather give my money to ya'll! I'm wanting the Cadillac script arched to follow the bend of the caliper with the Caddy crest centered underneith. Do you have dimensions you'd need to do this? I could take some measurements if needed, but it would be Tuesday before I could do it. |

If you are still unsure though, a light spray of heat resistant clearcoat after installation will make them near indestructible.
For an idea on caliper heat levels, most caliper seals need to be replaced if they exceed 240 degrees (not to be confused with rotor temps, which can easily climb to double that). Quote:

Who makes the 06 CTS Sport/Performance package's OEM brake calipers? It's not Brembo is it? |

Called Cadillac parts and they said the non-V brake calipers are all AC Delco...guess I won't be putting that sticker on there.  |
