Thinking about buying these red calipers.
http://www.aveoforum.com/forum/attac...-96472374a-jpg
I think red calipers with full bronze/gold wheels looks great but I'm not so sure how it'll look with the machined lip. What do you guys think?
Here's a pic of my wheels.

Thanks in advanced!
Are those upgraded calipers? If they're just stockers, I'd just tell you to get some caliper paint and spray away. Regardless, I think it'd look awesome!
just paint yours.
They're just red painted OEM calipers. I've decided they'll look awesome too! Buying them right now, lol.Quote:

Can't do any of that, haha.Quote:

i dont want to get rude, but those are a waste of money. EVEN if you suck at life, you can paint a caliper in minutes.
I'm going to have the local Les Schwab install them along with the new rotors I'm getting. The way I see it is, why bother doing things yourself if you have the money to have someone else take care of it :DQuote:

I'm feeling some hostility from you. Not sure why it matters what one does with their money...Quote:

You said it your self DIY is not for everyone and some have the money to get it done at a shop. Most members use this site to learn how to DIY to make life easier and cheaper why you own this peice of chevy history. I personally mess up some time when i do my own work but it makes me a more well rounded mech and its alot cheaper than a shop. Either way you go be safe get quotes have fun
I wasn't trying to be hostile. But you posted for our opinions, ignored our advice, and now spent too much money.Quote:

Ask a neighbors 7 year old kid to come out and paint you calipers. they could do it, it would cost $10, and box of cookies. But you are instead buying what $100 calipers, and then $200 install because your not into the DIY type..
all you really need to paint them is a plastic/garbage bag, and a can of caliper paint. Rubberbands can make the job easier as well.
