I installed on my 1996 C4 Corvette and totally loved them. They worked really well at keeping the brake dust off the wheels and dressing up the stock calipers (which I painted black too). I don't remember paying over $200... if I recall I bought for $125 from Covette Central. May want to look for a reseller rather than direct.

those are nice and look great on your ride. However, i have a tough time justifying the cost, $200 base price and then I would want them yellow to match my car, thats another $100. And on top of that if I want to have them custom engraved then its another $140. They do look good but i think I'll just paint mine.

They were $310.00 plus shipping because there was a discount code. The quotes I got for painting were anywhere from 225.00 to 280.00. I had painted calipers before and after a while they started to chip and the brake dust was a pain to clean, and since I'm not a DIY kind of guy this was my best option.

Don't get me wrong, Like I said they look GREAt on your car. I know what you mean about the painted calipers. I painted my calipers on my lowered dakota truck I had, they looked great but after a few years they were getting where they needed to be painted again. Either way your camaro looks sweet, I like those rims, are they the ones that you get through chevrolet?

Yes, they are a chevy option. They are one of my favorite parts of the car.

My friend got the red an they fit perfect because he had the regular brakes. So if you have brembos, you are going to hear all kinds of scraping and screeching when you are driving unless they have fixed them in the recent months Whig hopefully they did. And they won't give you a refund on the custom colors...

If you have the SRT-8, you will need the SRT-8 specific application. This part number hasn't even been released yet (in about a week), so if you had problems it is because you ordered the wrong part.

If you still have them, we can exchange the set for the correct one.

Do you have some hi res photos of your car we could use? They look great on your car.
