Default nice Callipers

Have the callipers been painted or do they come red from purchase.
I have also seen transfers but have doubts that they will stick well

Default Still original calipers

Quite frankly, don't know how they have lasted so long, the red paint just doesn't wear off, and the Porsche has not either. Three years old and at least 7 track events on them.

Cars always look good with the suspension loaded! Great pic. I wonder if the club would be interested in a driving clinic for newbies. I used to teach for Dick Turner in the 80's and he developed a great one hour presentation -- kind of like a ground school for basics of high performance driving. He also taught a method of steering wheel control that is far superior (IMO) to hand-over-hand that is particularly helpful for autocross and small track racing.

Just wondering and offering to volunteer if there is interest.
