I think most of you remember my friends car.
Everybody had the same thoughts, GET RID OF THOSE CALIPER COVERS!!!!



Done!! They are gone and the calipers are now color matched to the car.

Now convince him that the vinyl carbon fiber should go too I hate that stuff, I think it would look much better if it was black. That's my opinion and it doesn't mean anything to pretty much anyone I know haha

Looks good just needs a decent coat of polish on it.

Of all the mods on this car, the last I wouild have criticized would be the caliper covers.
The matte black roof, the fender stripes, and the blacked-out side marker lights would be higher priorities. The black wheels are better than glitzy chrome, but not much. But hey, what do I know? I don't understand pants with crotches at knee level either; I guess we old farts are just totally behind the times.

You really have a friend, or does he just come around to use your lift and get you to help with his car?

(friends car looks great)

What did you do to Bill that he can't post himself?

Looks better but something looks off on them still to me. Are they matte or is it just the pics? Maybe it's that they don't say Corvette. Either way much better than the covers which look soooo cheap!

The painted calipers make it look like a high performance car instead of a cheap wanna be. The painted calipers look much better than the caliper covers.

Remove the Hash stickers and this is a very good looking car. Love the color and the contrasting dark scheme.

Saw this car in Ocean City and must agree that the carbon fiber vinyl must go. The good thing is, it's not my car and if he likes it that is what counts. Otherwise car looks sharp.
