Default New Calipers and Tint
Had my windows tinted this week and GotJuice put on my Candy Apple Red Calipers I got from Jason at Gulf Coast Performance and I also had my new braided brake lines installed that I got from LAPD last summer Thanks to Jason who did a great job on my calipers and I sent him $25 more than he quoted by accident and he immediately sent it back to me via PayPal

Today I went over to ZR1 Bobs house to use his lift to clean out the grungy wheel wells and he also assisted me in waxing my toy before next weeks Autorama Car Show where my Vette will be with one of six from our San Antonio Vette Club and onto some shots

One of myself with my shinny new calipers and a clean wheel well




A few of my waxed Vette




Thanks to Bob for letting me use his lift and assisting me with the cleaning and waxing

Nice looking calipers. Are those painted or powder-coated?

Nice color choice on the calipers, good contrast with the chrome wheels and the arctic white body panels.
