Brake caliper show and tell....

[Lynsey]

I just got mine powder coated with prismatic coatings in Illusion Violet. Getting installed today. Will take a few photos when they are installed. Think the color will look great with my carbonized gray and gloss black wheels. Fingers crossed.

That is beautiful. I am sure you already know, but just in case not, bleeding the brakes requires FDRS. So it can’t be done by just anybody.

Are you shitting me! I always do my own brakes. No way in hell I’m taking it somewhere.

Well… you can do your brake pads and rotors without needing to bleed the brakes. But if you’re going to open the fluid system, then you’re going to need a pricey FDRS license.

Ah ok. That works. I assumed pushing the fluid back would throw some code. Good to know. Thanks.

Well, I sure hope they know what they are doing. they do this all the time and have good reviews. They better for what I'm paying.

Wow. That’s some dedication to the statement piece. My red calipers may not be as bold, but Now I feel pretty damn good about the $35 I spent. I guess if you e got it, good on ya.

Well I paid someone to do them yellow for cheap and it started cracking g and chipping after like 2 weeks. Had to get it fixed so wanted to do it right. I know it's a lot. But hopefully will make me smile when I see my car. First new car I bought myself. Goes with my racing stripes. Might as well go all out.

Sorry to hear the yellow was cracking already. You definitely want all in on the redo. But if it makes you happy, that’s what it’s about. That’s why I comment on and support everyone’s stripes/mods. Express yourself fam.
