Jantzer (sponsor) does. Or, you could always get the red powdercoated Z06 calipers.

bauer offers the service on the site, but i don't see a core charge to go with them, so i don't know if they have them in stock and exchange or if you need to supply your own extra set (or downtime for your car)

I got in contact with Jantzer and his work looks really good, and the prices aren't too bad either. I decided to go with chrome brackets and one of the colors for my calipers, but cannot decide yet...

My car is a NBM SS

BLACK

BLACK/SILVER METALLIC

BRIGHT RED

CHROME SMOKE

NAVY BLUE



What do yall think??


Oh yeah, the TB's are modeled for color examples only.

Hrm, I think that navy blue might look good on a NBM car.

Ok, well I narrowed down my choice of colors...


Navy Blue

Black



Chrome Smoke





Decisions-Decisions


My wheels are chrome 18" ZO6'S, so they will be clearly visible.

My highest points go to the black so far.

LG Motorsports can sell you a set of Z06 calipers, or you can call our GM Parts sponsor, Scoggin-Dickey and order some. www.SDPC2000.com (they are a Chevy Dealership)

The ZO6 calipers are a bolt on item?

I saw the ZO6 calipers and its a great alternative. But since, I have ZO6 wheels too, I feel that it would make me look too wana-bee-ish I am also not too sure about red calipers on a NBM car.

Ok, thanks.

Im sure the red on NBM looks really good, its just that the ZO6 calipers have "Corvette" on them,(which does look nice) but with me having ZO6 wheels and all....I think its just too much. I'm still exploring though.

No prob man.

FWIW, I totally agree with your choices of color. I would consider the exact same colors. If (I should say when) I change my caliper color, it will be a tough choice. I like the NBM with the chrome brackets since it matches the car. With stock or painted brackets I like grey or black since it looks the classiest. Red is the typical "sporty" look.

$250 for the set of 4 for polished calipers/powder coated brackets
$300 for the set of 4 for Powder coated calipers/brackets (more because it requires disassembly and rebuild of calipers)
