very nice, id go with the camaro ss since you already have the ss badge on the side just to mix things up. I think it fits the contour of the caliper better also.

I traded 3 RC cars for the caliper and rotors and I spend like 250 on the lines, spacers, washers getting the calipers rebuilt.

My friend told me the same thing about the SS badge on the fender so people would already now its an SS; he said to go with just the Camaro or Chevrolet Camaro like the 2010 model.

just hope its not a front end wreck because they might get damaged! Mine had some serious scratches and i think one of the banjo bolt got stripped When i had it rebuilt they rethreaded but i still ran into some leakage when i put it brake lines on but i tightened the **** out of it and it worked.

Looks good. What did you paint those with? I've been wanting to color match mine to the body . It's just a hassle when painting with the gun and risking to getting overspray. But I guess you can always pull them off and re bleed them.

Have you thought of adding the same logo as the 5th gen camaro brembos ?

I used the Duplicolor kit it brushes on so its less messier; i just taped everywhere i didn't want paint on.

Yeah but i think I might just go with Camaro or Chevrolet.

It should fit as long as the spokes don't get in the way but you might have to use a spacer depending on your offset.

I traded them for some RC cars on CL. As for the rears maybe just painted them or getting one of those cover they sell on eBay.
