Default First Corvette

Bought our first Corvette C6-08 back in January after looking for nearly 5 months. Have been taking Sunday drives all over the place. Today weather was wonderful and enjoyed our first topless ride.

Great looking car! Could you take a close up shot of the front and rear calipers? I would like to do mine red also.

We got ours from this eBay posting. Since the seller was not far from our home, we drove there and had him put them on. Very nice quality, would highly recommend.

I painted mine with rattle can paint I got at PepBoys. Did it on the car, just released the calipers and and painted them in the wheel well. Painted the brackets off the car. Just protected the rotor from paint and ran a fan to blow the overspray away from the car.
