I bought a new set of calipers after a long search for a used set to have powder coated...here's the result. Colored V logo is under the clear, something every powdercoater told me couldn't be done on this 2 stage candy blue color. The guy who did them obviously figured it out...what do you guys think?
I also have the stock full set of calipers for sale off my car for someone who cannot afford to have your car down like me, either in the stock silver which have a few chips and scratches or custom powder coated in any color buyer wants with any logo....details will be in a classified ad section I'm about to put up or send me a Pm.
Looks awesome! Ordered my car with the silver calipers, fully intending to powdercoat them a different color someday. Haven't decided what color yet though...
One question...did you have to disassemble or rebuild the calipers for powdercoating?
they were but I didn't do it. I bought brand new calipers and had them shipped directly to powder coater. he did disassembly and all the other stuff that has to happen. on older calipers he said you might need to replace a seal or two but if the cars not tracked he rarely see's any issues with these calipers because they are such high performance items to begin with.
I just wash them with dawn dishwashing liquid like I do the wheels so Im not sure about brake cleaner. He said I could use anything to clean them as long as its clearcoat safe.., just like the wheels

Anyone got a pinout for the headlights, I'm modifying the wires coming off the Diode Dynamics 80mm switchbacks so I can install these super clean without the use of cable connectors (I hate these things cause they cut the wires). Will make a detailed picture how to using connector parts from...
My V's left projector lights is quite strange. It throws a strong beam of light instead of a wide one with a clear cutoff like the one on the right. I've just noticed this after swapping out the stock Phillips Hid bulbs with Osram Xenarc CBIs. The light output is much stronger now but I dont...
As all of you know, the CTS-V has more HP than tire to handle it. I want to increase my tire size (width, not diameter) to gain some off-the line traction. My plan is to run 275/35/19's on the front using 10x19 wheels and 305/30/19's onthe rear using 11x19 wheels. These sizes yeild about the...
