Default Upgraded brakes + new ad - Wilwood

My wilwood big brake kit was replaced today with their new version, basically my old brakes had the wilwood logo outlined only, not filled in - so it was hard for people to read the logo, so they changed it back to the old version so you can see the brakes from a distance (the logo).

Did a couple of shots afterwards with one of the marketing guys, here is the ad that will be in a few truck magazines - full page... I will upload the other pics later




EDIT - here are the rest of the pics

My previous brakes were wilwood, but the "wilwood" logo on the calipers were just outlined on my old set... after too many people complained about not being able to see the logo, they went back to the previous style more or less... pics:

Old style -




new pics -












They wanted to take some pics of the truck so we went to a local spot they use - its mid-day, not the best time to take pics - but here are the ones I took - I will get copies of the ones wilwood took - evidently the camera guy used to work as a pro, im sure his are much better than mine, anways -






Next up - my new CF cai box - pics soon.

That pic looks awesome! So the only thing different is the logo is solid instead of outlined?
