Default White calipers on NBM SS, what do you think?

I couldnt ever find white calipers on a navy blue metallic camaro, was going to go with silver, but changed my mind at autozone lol. I am sure some will hate but I like it. Sry for crappy iphone pictures.

Do you need to take the caliper off to paint them? Is it possible to do with them on? Looks good btw, different.

Me too! I thought I was gonna have to say "I'll be honest...not a fan".

BUT, after opening the thread they actually look pretty nice. I like them! Never seen it before, and I think it was a great idea. They go good with the stripe, and bring some good contrast to the car. Nice work

But +1 on the keeping them clean.

I think it would look KILLER with a white manta, but the outline one, and some of the new style SS emblems. A little more white would really pull it all together.

I'm thinking about painting my calipers and putting the Camaro SS decal on them. What's the best type of paint, spray or brush? Spray is alot cheaper but more of a mess and the paint brush seems more convenient and able to get all the angles, what do u recommend?

I like how they look, but I think I would paint the brackets NBM then get NBM decals for the calipers. That would look awesome IMHO.

And I'll join the club, those will be fun to keep clean. Lol

I used spray and left the calipers on ( being lazy) but I taped off everything really well and used newpaper. I got a tad bit on the rotor but soon as I braked it rubbed off. I used engine enamel from autozone since its high heat resistant.

Ya I was thinking about a manta but eventually I am just going to do white 35th stripes.

You can either get them from Brent Franker or I believe WS6store has them as well.
