Nope but if you do, go for it. :cheers:

I'm pretty conservative by nature. It looks like you did a quality job and should look very good.

Tomorrow I plan on cleaning and polishing the calipers and mounts. I will take pictures and add them.

Okay, who am I kidding like one of my cars would ever be dirty. Last weekend I was bored so I detailed the undercarriage of the Callaway here are some photos

This puts you in the "waxer" category, "fer sher!" ;)

Nice work...Come n do mine sometime. (Just drive slow on the mile of gravel and powdered limestone...Going slow minimizes the paint chips and reduces the thickness of the dust on the rear fascia :o)

I like 'em, but I'm a waxer. Should offset the Purple Mist nicely.

I really like 'en too!. but you should keep those pictures of 'heavy car parts on kitchen counter' someplace your wife wont ever find them. I would put them with my offshore accts and porn, if I had any.....

Look cool to me, much better than the brown "patina" on mine.

If you like purple cars then I guess it is cool. But I wish I had the callaway package in black. The LPE body would be even better for me though. You are Definitely in the waxer category now. I think if I ever do upgraded brakes I'll be using a set with black hats, which is easy because I think they come that way, haha. I think I need a lift, the underneath of my car has to be dirty. You guys with the clean and polished undercarriage drive me nuts.

I actually like them on their own BUT since its a Callaway, there's already bling on it. I love the car however.

That is exactly why I painted them. I was tired of the oxidization.

Over the winter I will pull the calipers clean up all of the casting and than polish them,

Keep it! With an ordinary car I would say no, but looks awesome with your paint and custom work

I originally did the plate because Reeves is well known for the TT L98 engine. I talked to him for about 45 minutes at Bloomington gold show trying to get him to agree on doing one more TT ZR1. No go he kept trying to push me into a new Callaway Z06, I test drove it and while it was amazing it was still a Cadillac with a lot of HP.
I really missed the sound and drive of a real corvette. The Callaway just feels like a Corvette it is stiff, loud fun to drive and just fells like a Corvette.
I would like to get a TT engine for the car. Just have to decide if I want a another Nice ZR1 (415 cu in), C6 Z06 for or a TT ZR1 engine for the Callaway. I have the entire winter to decide.

I talked with Aaron Scott last week he has a 900+RWHP TT ZR1 in his shop right now. I think I will be down in Tallahassee in 2 weeks will shoot by his shop while I am there.

Hell, I dont want to make that car look any better than it already does, you will never sell it too me than.
yours would be simple Baer Eradispeed vents painted black than clear coated.
I dont know if anything other than Black would look good on your car.
let me get the Calipers and mounting brackets done. maybe just a brushed aluminum finish.
