chrome calipers
Anyone have chrome calipers and are they holding up ok? Who sells them and how much? Do you think they would stay looking good if the car is kept outside all the time and covered up?Appreciate any info.

Those aren't mine, those are GB Vette's. You should see them in person, they look even better.

Not chrome, but I think they're OK...

The only reason you shouldnt do chrome calipers is because of the heat. But if you are not out Auto-Xing or road racing with it, I would say its fine. It looks soooo darn good too.

Got these from VinnyG (Forum Member).
Love em
As a note - the issue of chrome having issues on calipers is an old wifes tale. Have had chrome calipers on many of my HD's over the years, and not a single issue.
