I'm finishing off a fun project within the next 3 weeks that is involving the following:
(keep in mind this is on a 530)
1) Mtech side skirts (Uminitza)
2) Trunk finisher (Trinity)
3) Tints (on the fence about this)
4) Brake caliper re-painting gloss black (Xenonmods.com)
5) New r1concept drilled & slotted sport rotors (Trinity)
6) Axxis brake pads (Trinity)
7) Caliper decals (Xenonmods.com)
(all for about $1,500 including installations which isn't too bad imo)
The question I have is about the caliper decals. Should I use the M logo on the caliper or the text BMW? Here are pics:
Both would be stuck to the retaining clip that can easily be removed on the front 2 calipers. I'm not even sure if it will fit on the rears since they are too small.

wasn't Nickgre doing "BMW Performance" stickers for front brakes?? A few members, such as Andy545, went for M5 BBKs and put those stickers on 
Now that did look good! Check out this post
I'm personally not into the //M logo on non M-parts.
EDIT: here's a pic

Can't you just use smaller font -- your calliper just looks thinner where you would apply the sticker on the front?
