Yes sir, just waiting to drop my calipers off at the powder coater since they came slightly damaged from shipping. I'm hoping my wheel and caliper combo looks as good as yours. I think I'm heading in the right direction

Black and yellow would work very well here in Pittsburgh. I am going to do the opposite of the wheel, gunmetal caliper with the turquoise lettering. If I was going to do the caliper originally I would have left the spokes of the wheel gunmetal and the turquoise barrel so that I could make the calipers turquoise. But of course things never go as planned

Post up when complete... Im sure it will look great! I just did yellow because red is overdone in my opinion.

So my C6 Z06 front and rear brake conversion is complete. Changed the offset since I no longer have that grease nose for the feont rotors so I was able to go from a 1.5 inch lip to a 3 for my front wheels. Here are some picture

Hey Geezy -- we spoke before on TB.com before I got banned about 14" corvette brakes on our GNs while you were waiting to get your brakes together. Good job. Looks great!
