Front & rear calipers MUST match. Looks incomplete / goofy otherwise IMHO.

Those are stock brake calipers (they actually look nice when detailed).

I painted the calipers black, polished the caliper brackets, and purchased Camaro Decals from Afterthoughts. The rotors are Eradispeed which I polished.

Glad you like them...thank you!

I painted my fronts red when I did a brake job, but I haven't had a chance to paint the back yet. I just hate down time with my car

Def F&R. I just painted mine today, F&R. It only took a couple hours to paint all four with a brush on kit from G2. Looks awesome.

Caliper Paint Mod

Polished caliper brackets look sweet! Looks pretty awesome, dude! I painted the front and back too! Used red brush on G2 paint for calipers & brackets and painted the rotor hats on the back black since they were so rusty. I want to get the Eradispeed rotors when mine are dead. Know I know I want them...Got the decals from www.afterthoughtsauto.com too! Great minds think alike!
