Can anyone help me, I was wondering if a chrome brake caliper exist for a 2007 vette?

Yep, "Almost Chrome" - see below:

You can always get them dipped, but then you'd have a trailer car and not a driver.

You can get chrome caliper covers.

Not the best idea from a purely performance perspective, but OK as a cosmetic mod for street use.

Unless it's a pure show car I don't think I would chrome my brake calipers. Don't believe they would dissipate heat very well!
