Re: vette brakes

Do people ever mistake your car for a corvette?

Sorry couldn't help it.

Re: vette brakes

I've also got c5 front brakes. mine were powdercoated red but i was going for the look of you don't know they are there unless you look, so i painted them black with caliper paint. the caliper paint does not hold up very well, so I'm going to eventually have them powdercoated black but am going to shave the Corvette off of the front sides of the calipers. To the OP, do a search of c5 front brakes and you should yeild more than enough threads on the subject to complete this mod yourself.
