Thanks for the post Paul! There's some good insight in those snippets.

Hopefully our concierge will be able to backfill some of the technical void.

Hope springs eternal Rex but I am not counting on it...

I thought our '05-06 GTs came with a color brake caliper option.

Mr. Sandberg must not have worked at Brembo over 8 years.

The only colors I have seen on the 05-06s are red, silver and standard black.

Ford must not consider these three caliper paint options for the 05-06 GT's as "custom"....

And actually it was not silver but tungsten to match the car color (in 2006).:thumbsup

And interesting how the new brake calipers are now (I believe) branded Brembo which for the 05-06 model they were not. (although there was considerable internal discussions held on whether to put the Brembo (or Ford GT) logo on them.)

My blue 2005 FGT has some shade of grey. Did they use tungsten for the 2005 calipers? I looked up the 2006 "Ford Marketing Mix" and Ford lists the calipers as gun metal grey. I wish the 05-06s would have had some form of branding; they look too plain.

Looked up the order form and it looks like Ford lists the caliper color as "Gun Metal Grey" for both 05 and 06. (in addition to "Red).

The color of your calipers are in a league onto their own - in GT world anyway - a nice shade of 'gold' from punishing that brake pedal. Sure hope that you aren't on the original brake fluid. :lol

Have decals made as many of us did 10 years ago when we thought the calipers looked too plain. Mine have lasted 10 years with no problems.

You need to ask Not4n. He made them up. If you're interested, let me know what color and whether you want Ford GT or Brembo. I am his agent. You can pay for and collect at the rally. $10 for a set of 5 (American, not Canadian).

Been changed many times. And not a prayer a sticker would have survived

Wait a minute...aren't you the same guy trying to get $1200 for a GT cap at Rally VIII???

Please remember that was a new heritage cap in the wrapper, and, it was $6000
