paint calipers or not?? Got an 02 WS6 with 2000 miles on it. Trying to decide whether or not to paint the calipers (maybe better to keep it original). Still have stock rims, going to prolly get the ws6 store slotted/drilled rotors soon and thought about painting the calipers while I was at it. My WS6 is red with the black rocker emblem overlays.
Should i just leave the calipers alone, or go with red calipers and black or silver TA sticker or black calipers with a silver TA sticker???
Also, anyone know if they make a WS6 sticker for the caliper?? Everyone has TA on theirs....just trying to be different. Thanks for the input!

Paint them red, black or silver. They look like **** when not painted IMO.

Leave it stock...dont even change the rotors. I have a 2000 WS6 Vert with around the same mileage and except for a set of 18in chrome Y2Ks (mostly to keep the stock tires and wheels mint...they have less than 100 miles on them) its bone stock original and staying that way. With yours being such low mileage I would do the same....or sell it and buy one with 50,000 miles and mod the hell out of it with the difference in money.

honestly if you are going to sell the car in the future for profit leave it original, dont even buy the rotors. The value on trans ams are going to sky rocket since they are not being produced with the new camaro. plus you only have 2000 miles on her, keep it in the garage. if you have the mod bug, save your money and get a decent lt1 or ls1 camaro or TA and mod the crap out of it
