White caliper pics. Step inside

For those who have been waiting for white caliper pics here you go. No problem to tuck your hand in to wipe off every few days or a week to keep the heavy stuff off.

I have been wanting to see someone do it white. It looks good but maybe red is better ... it stands out more. I'm still on the fence. On that car though, with the fender stripes, the red might be better.

I figured everyone has red. Red looks badass but I wanted to be different. I got them from mike the powdercoat guy. They are powder coated. They are tough too considering I dropped one twice because I had break fluid on my hand. Didn't even leave a mark. Here is Mike's email if anyone is intersted.

In all I changed the calipers, rotors and installed Bilsteins. I really like the Bilsteins.

I don't get the 'body color' caliper thang!
Blue calipers would not look good on my car!
...and on the eighth day, God said, 'let all calipers be red'!

Looks nice now. Hope they still look good after a lot of miles. Mike does great powdercoating work.

Very Nice!

Hey, very nice looking, bummer I went with Red. You have broken the "all calipers must be red" theory, at least as far as I am concerned! Kewl looking indeed!

Here are mine in ZO6 red

.....Except on Magnetic Red Cars. Torch Red calipers would look horrible.
