My Red Powdercoated Calipers!
...at first i was unsure if i liked it or not but after really looking at them for a while and seeing how they looked while the car was rolling i fell in love! ill try and get some rolling shots for you guys tomorrow, and some with better light...
...i will most likely have the unpainted parts touched up in silver or darker color like the wheels with some brake caliper paint from autozone or w/e...
well, here you go! ( i know my wheels are filthy!)

"well, shop that did it is one that my dads been sending his cars to for a few years... i originally took the car in to buff out a number of scratches i got from the carwash (never again!)...
...i asked them to simply let me know the price of having the calipers powdercoated, they misunderstood what i said and actually sent the brakes out to get powdercoated (took 4 days in total from when brakes were shipped to when they were returned).
...i was on vacation and came home and went straight there to pick up the car to find out that the brakes were out getting powdercoated, told them i was never sure about getting it done and just wanted a price, they realized it was on them and charged me 1/3rd the price... full price was suppose to be $680 (sounded expensive to me but i assumed it was due to shipping costs) but i payed $220. Needless to say I was happy!"
