The next question is; Which ones did he buy? The regular ones for $179 or the so-called custom ones for $279?

No, no, no...paint em quick; it takes 2 hours for all calipers and 12$ paint. Maybe it wont last years, be its 100000x better than this...The real deal is to get Corvette/CTS-V calipers with a bracket kit from 6litereater..

Maybe I'm being too harsh. At least they don't say "Brembo" or "Wilwood"
Nope, not too harsh. Its downright

They might be a little cooler if they were $40 instead of $179!!

$180 would go a long way towards some upgraded calipers

the covers look like crap...what's the point?

a can of caliper paint is under $10 at the parts store if you want to make them a little nicer looking

With all that money spent, I would've got custom NBM caliper paint from G2, silver brackets, chrome decal.......Game Over.

Unfortunately, I don't think price is whats affecting the coolness factor.
