Default New Brakes and Wheels

Got my new corvette brakes, z06 wheels and LT1 taillights in!
Thinking about painting the calipers, but not sure what color?

Really like the taillights... What did you tint them with? You don't think you'll ever get hassled by police for not having a clear reverse light?

translucent red spray paint. i've never had any issues from the coppers with mine. i did the same with my 98+ lights almost a year ago.

glad to finally see a set of lt lights done all red. i have a set now i was planning on doing the same with to see if i liked it more than the 98+. maybe im just subconsciously biased, but im not as big of a fan of the lt style in all red as much. but they do look great. i still might try it out though

i have 2 1/2 extra sets of lt1 lights laying around to play with, so i might as well.

Look good man, I would paint the calipers or powder coat them to complement the wheels.

Thanks everyone

I used candy apple red translucent spray paint and it went on pretty smoothly.

I am also going to be lowering it in a couple of weeks with KYB AGX Shocks and Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs.

I am using the corvette brackets for the calipers. The calipers are pretty much the same from corvette to camaro, but the brackets are different.
