everybody... go to this page:

then scroll down to the bottom... look at what this guy did to his calipers... that's how you make it look like u got expensive calipers.....

 

here's one of the pics

just paint the caliper black and put silver decals on them

 

^^^^^^^^ very nice

 

I make and sell the caliper decals also. (mine are cheaper) The decals won't fit the 3rd gen calipers. Here's mine...
(the 6666 is my slp build number)

 

Whatever floats your boat I guess. I never really felt the need to attract attention to my stock calipers.

 

wouldnt the heat melt the stickers?

 

the decals I make are made from a 3M U.L. approved material used for heated surfaces. No, they do not melt.....

 

I'm with Jim on this one ...

 

I suppose if you've got an airy wheel and need to give your caliper and finished look, it's a good idea. Though most of us with stock wheels (or less airy ones) shouldn't even bother.

 

Maybe when the women say "Nice wheels" shes actually talking about the wheels, i always thought it was the whole car rather than the wheels. No wonder i never have any women.

I think it could be a good accessory for the perfect car, but definately not for everyone.

 

Well, if you like to detail every part on your car, I guess that's not a bad idea. I think the Camaro decal is more than enough though. No offense Fatal88, but the "SS" and the SLP build # looks way to busy; kinda like a Chinese newspaper.

I really meant no offense, I think you're truly gifted to do the things you have done to your cars. The stuff you and your wife have posted here was incredible.

 

Yeah, stock calipers are nothing special, but I kinda like that camaro one that is black with white lettering. Not to drastic but a nice touch.

Doubt I would do it though.

 

I agree with you... it's about the whole package. A great looking pair of wheels with some drilled & slotted rotors with giant red calipers creates a killer look.

But staring at my stock rotors and dinky calipers that are all of a sudden "Bling Bling" red really doesn't create an image that I'd be proud of. I'd rather draw more attention to my wheels and less to my stock brakes.

If I had a 4th gen with nice rear calipers, I may feel differently, but painted stock thirdgen calipers is only 1 step better than a ***** (Import Enthusiast ) that has Krylon yellow brake drums.

Beautiful 2nd gen by the way.

 

oops. I guess I hit "quote" instead of "edit"

 

exactly my thoughts,

 

wouldn't put that on the 88, but looks really good on my 02 SS. It looks more drastic in the pic. When you see overall car you don't notice as much...
