Default Any one with Yellow Calipers?

Thinking about yellow calipers for my black c6. Any one done theirs in Yellow? Been looking and have not found any pictures yet.

I had them at one point, as I tend to change a lot.
imageshack isn't working for me at the moment, so I will have to attach it.

did you change the color after the yellow. thanks for posting. I was wondering if it would be too much yellow. I think I might go black with yellow corvette letters.

Again thanks. hard one to find.

Have not seen it on blk but I'd go for it.

Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamal over
Rustoleum Gloss Protective Enamel
That yellow is a perfect match to VY

It will pop on your blk, esp since all the rest have red

I have yellow calipers. I wouldn't do it again. They get dirty so fast. I'm switching to black.

I have yellow calipers on my Audi S4. With all the brake dust that car throws, they are trashed after one good run. And getting them clean can be a little hard.

They look great, but get dirty fast.

For my Vette, ( if I ever get time ) I intend to leave the caliper in its natural finish and paint the corvette part yellow.

I currently have Crystal Red on one side of the car and Black on the other. I am currently running Z51 brakes though, as I took the Z06 ones off to do a couple caliper swaps for people. When they come back, I will be going back to crystal red.

I can do black letters and I charge 250 for regular caliper sets, 350 for Z06. I also do the regular ones on exchange so you have no down time.
