Grape Ape Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Well, here it is. The finished product. Another Mod out of the way. Had to wait for the Brake Pads to come in though. Let me know what you think. Dun Good, Huh? Tim, You were RIGHT!! Before.................After...................After Market Chrome C6 Z06 wheels, Powder Coated Calipers (Candy Purple), Drilled & Slotted Rotors, New Back Tires, SS Brake Lines, New Hawk HPS Pads, SS Brake Covers, Speed Bleeders on all 4. I think that's about it. Oh wait, I installed some Chrome looking letters as well. Last picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hey...you stole my wheels. Seriously, she looks nice. I've been thinking of a brake upgrade myself. Where'd you get the parts and how much if you don't mind me asking? Love those calipers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hey...you stole my wheels. Seriously, she looks nice. I've been thinking of a brake upgrade myself. Where'd you get the parts and how much if you don't mind me asking? Love those calipers too. Sorry for stealing... I usually try not to do that..... But I love the look of these wheels for some reason.Well, I'm kind of an E**y whore. I got most of it from there. The wheels are the stock C5 Z06 sizes, not C6 sizes. I got them from TomZWheels. The calipers I got from the other forum from member Corvette Pilot. He does powder coating and you have to exchange your old ones for the colored ones. Unless you want to keep them and give up the $300 core charge. The brake lines, SS covers, Hawk pads and I guess everything else was from the auction sight. I have to quit doing that!!! I think I have a problem. I will never do business with RotorPro's again though. They lost my order and it took 2 weeks to get the darn pads in. Just got them today and they were all I needed to finish the job about a week ago. All in all, I think it cost me about $550 without the wheels and tires. With them it might have been closer to $1700. :money eyes: Don't tell the wife though if you ever see her!! The car was up on stands for a total of 2 weeks. I think I was going through withdrawls from not being able to drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the plastic covers on everything but I just didn't like the way they looked. Would rather have them look factory if that's possible. Painted or tinted would look better.

I've been doing it for years, and have perfected it pretty well with using a tinted paint and wet sanding to achieve a factory look...Aw man! You suck!

Was wondering what it would cost and how much down time there is involved. Where are you located at so I can see what you've done. It looks like you did yours. I like 'em.....
