I ve been looking at these and I like them. I was wondering how close of a match the red would be to Victory Red. Any of U guys seen these on a red car? Thanks

Not sure what the covers cost but I spent the extra money to have calipers powder coated red with the big Brembo stickers. Very nice touch to the car. I spent $330 but I removed and reinstalled the calipers myself.

theese are about $200 I think im going with paint or powder coat. Probably paint and a Brembo decal. If I send the calipers out for powder the car would be down for a while.Dont like that. Thanks Caver I ve seen u on here a lot. Painted my engine cover a lot like urs. Ill get around to posting some pics soon.

I dont know if you can get the caliper covers powder coated. But I could be wrong

This is the guy to go to. Great work....worth the hassle. You need someone that knows how to work with clear coating the sticker in powdercoat. I tried a local guy on with some scrap metal and it burned the stickers the two times he tried it.

Mine are in post #414 on page 17. I think for the money difference you'll be alot happier than just using the covers.

He has an exchange program going on so techinically you can get them done with very little or no down time. There was a wait when I did mine so I decide to leave it on the rack for about a week and half and ship Mike mine. Not sure what the wait time if any is now.

Also, while you're at it go ahead and put on some stainless steel brake lines. You already have to bleed your brakes. It's only an extra 30 min or so to add them. I got mine from IPS for right at $100.
