Stock red calipers would have been too easy. Kind of frustrating they made it an option a year later. They are making bank on this option I am guessing since I haven't met too many owners that were happy with the dull grey. No turning back for me, calipers are fire engine red now. They really turned out nice but would have been happier with oem red and zero screwing around.
I have seen caliper covers advertised. What are any responses on using them vs having them painted or powder coated.

I was thinking about the covers until the first time I saw a set on a Vette in person - they were not at all what I was wanting. This is just my personal taste, but I thought they looked a little cheap to be bolting on my car. And I wanted to replace the lines and go with one piece pads anyway, so for that I had to completely remove the calipers anyway. When comparing a couple hundred bucks for covers to what Mike the Powdercoater is charging me, it was an easy choice to do it right.
I got my calipers back from Mike the Powder Coater and installed them this weekend along with new ss lines and one-piece ceramic pads. The entire job was not that difficult at all, I highly recommend getting a power bleeder if you don't have one already. And thanks to everyone's advice on the banjo bolts I didn't have any issues. Mike did my calipers in Torch Red with Gloss Black, and did a fantastic job on the coating!
