chrome calipers
Does anyone have pics of chrome calipers? How much and where can you buy them? Do you think the chrome will hold up as good as painted ones? Thanks

They look great but I'd recommend against unless you live in an area that does not have a winter.
Road salt will tear up chrome.

I like the red contrast better. If you could chrome the brackets as well as the calipers, maybe that would add a little.

Here's a couple of pics of what they look on my car w/chrome brackets.
I've sent you an email with the details.

Awsesome pictures. If your going to go chrome, you got to do the brackets. It makes all the difference in the world.

Iceburgh's calipers sure look good. Would imagine they require bit of tender loving care.
