Wow, that photography is amazing!!!!!

I know people say they look just as good hand painted, but after seeing several painted ones at the year one car show today, I can only say that the people that think they are the same have never seen my work in person.

There is no, and I say NO comparison. The guys at the dealer were in shock over the quality of work you do. And, they were amazed with the price. Thanks again Mike, and yes, the photography is beautiful. Courtesy of Joey Armario (my son).

Those look great!! I'm seriously considering doing that.

Did you swap them out yourself? If so, how much of a mechanic are you and did you have any serious challenges?

I wonder what color would look good on Monterey Red? I don't think I'd want to match the car as I like the contrasting look. I just can't think of a good color option.

I'd like to think I could do something like this myself one day, but for now, I am not that mechanically inclined. I sent Mike my calipers and he sent them back powdercoated. I had the car at the dealer, and they took care of putting them on. The dealer was to change my pads due to excessive brake dust and squeaking, so they did charge me for some additonal labor to install.

You will not go wrong with Mike (corvette pilot). I would think that Black with silver letters would look awesome with your car. Others may suggest yellow, but I think high gloss black would be very classy.
