This is for your us to powder coat your calipers... unfortunately we don't have cores as they are VERY expensive to purchase.

Unfortunately, powder coating brakes is NOT that easy... you obviously don't understand the total process...

#1-Each caliper has to be taken apart.
#2-Each caliper has to be stripped of ALL the old paint or powder coat
#3-Each Each has to be masked and repowder coated
#4-Each caliper needs to be re-assembled with new seals and boots (Over $100).. New Logos are made
#5-Order is shipped...($60+)

To powder coat calipers properly there is ALOT of work... powder is cheap... Good labor is not.

I missed the fun, apparently.

I think these look great, and caliper coating is extremely expensive due to the labor and rebuild kits, as mentioned. If you didn't tick the box when ordering ($500), or you're into customization, this certainly isn't unreasonable for the amount of work involved.

Anyway - looks good. If mine cook at the track, at least there's an option to get them looking good again.

It really is alot of work and honestly don't think the 2 users understand the labor it takes to assemble and disassemble the calipers. One member accused us of the Corvette Tax and that's really not the case.... the pistons on the brakes of a C7 are VERY hard to get out of the caliper.

The factory charges $595 if you want the calipers in Red, Black, Grey, or Yellow.... I'm offering the customers a chance to get the color they want for pretty much what the factory was going to charge them for standard colors.

I think the price is very fair!

Although a core switching program would be great, many of us the car is daily driver and don't want to wait on mail

If some one has inexpensive cores I would be happy to offer a Core Exchange program... the problem is I have to pay over $1000 for each set of cores....
