Default Finished calipers this am .Look good & only about $6... couple of observations.

the rear caliper seems to be covered with a plastic coating. This makes it shine better then the front IMO. I also spent some time trying to screw one of the wheel bolts into a hole that wasn't there. Had four of them on & the fifth would not go. Took the wheel off & realized I had moved the rotor to a spot where the bolt doesn't go through. Seems that the rotor is in two pieces & if not properly aligned bolt will not go in. No biggie but in case anyone hasn't done it & doesn't know it's something to be aware of.

Isn't the rear caliper made of anodized aluminum?

You are probably right...I though it might be some kind of coating.
