Cool Forget painting, last caliper mod!
I'm tired of painting my calipers, and wanted to try something different. I haven't seen anyone else with this so here goes!

Legend Caliper upgrade...taken to the next level:





Steel Lines of course to go with slick new finish:





Black Powder Coat, Decals, then Clear coated for look and longevity. Calipers were fully rebuilt, seals and all.






Thanks for looking!

You can get it professionally done for about $200-$250 for all 4 calipers with custom logo.

btw i am planning on getting my stock calipers powder coated soon also, due in part to how they turned out here (and get rid of the previous owner's horrible red paint job)
