Chrome! Old school triple plate chrome. I think it matches the wheels & the disc well. Most people dont even notice it. Those that do have liked it. Works for me. I like the look, something different.

Another caliper coating option
- Thread starter COOL COBRA
- Start date
make sure you keep the calipers clean.
chrome, brake dust and water dont play well together.
looks sharp.

Thanks man. While I had them apart I went with Carbotech ceramic pads. Brake dust is nearly non-existent. Should have done that long ago!
Looks good Cool Cobra!
I just ordered Ceramic Hawk Pads, I'm hoping they give off less brake dust then the stock pads
Man, you're car always looks so damn good! Any closer pictures? From a distance it looks great with your wheels.

What happen to your painted front splitter? Car looks incredible!
Thanks TJ! Splitter? It's the same. Just the top section was painted & stripes added. From the side view you just can't see it as much. I knew I'd scrape it some eventually on the lower edge & never had the bottom half painted.
Edit: I copied the coil cover wire tuck mod you did, looks way better. Thanks for that one!
Link? Applicable to 07-09 cars? I hate that passenger side wiring.
I forget where he posted it. TORQJNKY? If he dont chime in shoot him a PM. It takes some doing but it works well. It routes under the edge of the battery tray & I used a couple zippy ties to hold the wire loom down in a couple places. Nothing looks scary in the end as far as rubbing. Never had to cut anything either. Pretty much just bending the loom to make it travel down lower.
These coil covers are temporary. Iv'e got a custom billet set I'm working on..
Thank you Sir! I've got a few more subtle changes to make & this car is DONE! Other cars in the stable demanding attention too. Lol
Looks good!
Do the carbotech and hawk pads give full rotor coverage?!? I didnt think the hawks did.
How bad are the stock pads with dusting?!? I am doing a conversion now and got the stockers.

The Carbotech's are the OEM size, not sure about the Hawks. The OEM pads make black dust like crazy. Not just the wheels but on the body too. The Carbotech makes nearly zero dust & what it does make is a lighter color more like grey.

My bust, I thought the whole front splitter was painted on your. Here's the link to the thread where I relocated mine wiring harness. It doesn't have a whole lot of "How To", it just talks about it a little. http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...-the-passenger-side-wiring-harness&highlight=
Cool, if you keep this up you have to change your screen name from Cool Cobra to Chrome Cobra.
Better caliper pics please.
Car is awesome package, that's both you guys on the wire tuck idea.

It even made the funky little back calipers look better. I applied 6 or 7 coats of liquid glass polish before install to make them easier to clean. The wierd Orange color is reflection from a car in the background.

Is that a baby snake next to the wheel?
Haha you win! I wondered who would ask. Had the garage door open & he made his self at home. All the snakes on the fenders must've lured him in.:beer:
