Default Little brake ****
Just picked these up from Sean, aka Silverghost, aka the Powder-Pro. Excellent!!



Gloss black calipers and brackets with silver Trans Am decals (I wanted white, but it can't be done the good way). I had the casting marks all shaved, as well as the indents on the top all filled in and welded.







I would highly recommend Sean's work! Also good guy to do business with! Also had my TB powdercoated by him within the month, which also turned out excellent!!

Can't wait to put these on the car with the new drilled/slotted rotors!

Did you clearcoat over the decal to protect it from coming off?

Looks good. Simple and clean and not screaming "Hey, look at me."

Yeah, he did a clear powder coat over it. Couldn't be happier with the way they turned out!

Is the $400 with a caliper rebuild? This might be sooner on my list than I thought. That looks really damned good!

No, the caliper rebuild would be $100 more. I got a great deal at advanced auto so I picked up a set of remans so I wouldn't have any car downtime while he worked his magic. The decals and powder were about $250, the shaving and welding were a little over $100.
