That would cost more than the car itself lol.

On a serious note, I need to know too, it would match my car.

why not paint them your color code?


just find a car in that color you like and find the code to that. will be a lot easier than trying to hunt down the cod to their calipers...

well first the zr1 rotors are really big. but i am doing the zr1 calipers. just trying to find rotors. i need to find ceramic that is the sam size at C6Z06 rotors. those will work best. but i bet i will have close to 3k in brakes. but never have to change them again.

It looks very close to the Blue color for the C6, which would be Jetsream blue.

yeah i meant the guy with the blue car. i meant you should look at blue cars at a dealer or 2 and find a color you like, as i dont think GM will just release their color code for it.

but, my vote is to leave them red. imo blue and red dont mix.

Blue calipers on a red car? I don't know if that'll look that good.

i like how the new ZR1 calipers look on the red vettes. i probably wont do this for a while, my brakes have plenty of life left on them so the wheels wont be coming off anytime soon
