Adding Painted Brake Calipers
Is it possible to add red or yellow calipers after the fact to a Z51? I found a 2LT Z51, and they didn't order it with painted calipers.
If so, anyone know dealer install pricing if you can install after the fact.

They can certainly be installed at a later date. Buy them from one of our forum part suppliers for a considerable discount under MSRP. Then have any capable mechanic/shop install them. Sorry, don't know prices. Call/PM/email the parts suppliers for prices, ask a local shop about the install.

$300 labor is the going Chevy dealer rate in my neck of the woods...reason I know is I had C6 GS big brakes installed on my C5 last summer.
