The 500's come like that. Those are made by brembo.

The new 350 sports also come with those except they look a little different (2 big bolts instead of 4 smaller ones). However, the 4matics dont' come with those nice ones.

I dont think they are decals. I looked on mine and "mercedes benz" is painted onto the caliper. I know this because the white "mercedes benz" paint is fading off..

I like the calipers and the fact that you can watch DVD's in motion.

Other than that I gotta say I'm not a fan of the rest, just IMO and no offense. I would say drop that sucker though, the wheel gap is striking.
