Caliper Swap

[Prodigal]

Anyone swap calipers just to get rid of the matte grey ones? With new wheels that will show a bunch of brake ready to go on I’m a bit disappointed in how crappy these calipers look. I was ready to swap in a pair of Baer slotted 2 piece rotors but now I’m also considering swapping to either gloss black or traditional red Brembo 6 pot binders for my matte grey ones. Pretty vain, huh? I know right, silly but….
Steeda has the calipers for about $675 a pair. I figure I could sell mine for half that amount and that would be far easier and cheaper than removing and having them powder coated another color and reinstall.

I've considered it. I really like the Orange that only come on the FJG cars.

I switched my greys out for red calipers, think i ordered mine from steeda, or Levittown ford, maybe ford performance, I can’t remember. Anyway. It was an easy swap, and much better idea than painting them. Did stainless lines at the same time. They look 1 billion% better. Really ties in with the red decals. One thing I did do is went heavy on coating them in hi temp ceramic coating prior to fitting. So far they’ve held up well. Even with track pads.
