Anybody put Red Calipers on a ZL1

I really like the red calipers on the 1LE but I want to order a ZL1. Has anybody changed them and if so any pics or thoughts.

Mike the Powder Coater can make them red. He did ours yellow and they look great

Just got my ZL1 and I would like to do this too. The black calipers get lost behind the wheels.

Glad to see I'm not alone they should offer it as an option like with the vette.

I had a 1LE last year and loved the red calipers. Then when I got the ZL1 I had to coat the calipers, too much black in the wheel IMO. Done by Mike the Powder Coater.

Price? How long turn around? and was there any rebuild of the caliper needed afterwards?

Powder coating is the way to go. For schnitzengigglez I priced a set of 1LE calipers for my SS and about crapped myself when the parts dept told me they were $1695 A PIECE
