Default Not the right Calipers??

Okay, my 35th LE is one of the one's that they F'ed up on and didn't give me the anodized calipers i'm suppose to have. My question is this...
What would you guys think if I went to chevy and just had them order me the correct calipers, and I just kept them, and then painted the ones I have now red to match my LE with a "Camaro" sticker on them in Silver?
Anyone done this... I need some advice, and resource information for caliper paint and silver 'camaro' script.

Thanks!
Jon

I'd paint them. The anodized color looks like crap anyway.

Save the $$ and the hassles of getting GM to fix and paint them up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Just my .02
