Looks awesome. The purple was a good color to go with black. I am a guy and I'd rock the purple. Now just need to figure out what would go good with Lemans Blue. I don't like the red and my wheels are already black.

If anything I would get them Jet Stream Blue. Crappy thing is the car came with red bolsters on my seats which I really don't like. Would really like to get all black ones and do a straight swap.

Looks nice, very unique.

So I take it you just happened to have 4 extra calipers to use as spares while the other ones were being powder coated, so your Z wasn't laid up on jack stands?

If she used Mike the Powder Coater, IDK if he sends out cores anymore. I know Ive had my car sit for its fair share of time while waiting on calipers and new rotors.
