Since the Balt is my only car, I hate repainting mine every spring (this will be the 3rd), due to the crappy IL weather! I'd be down for some yellow ones. So, subscribed for prices and release!

bfalse whenever this little blizzard stops could you measure the width of your caliper so i can find the size that fits then get them made and powdercoated to your choice...

plus the powder coat looks good for years...

Not sure if mine are any different than the SS Calipers... but be right back with #s. And my mexican food.

Too dark to get a perfect measurement, but they look to be in the area of 5 1/2 Inches in width.

if you are looking at it head on, its the width of the caliper that the caliper would have to cover...

if you could get a front and back, they might be different

here you go you also want to include the brackets on the sides... here's a picture measure between the red lines.


also i have yet to hear about becoming a vendor...

ok I got the vendor prices!! now lets see who all is interested. I know some have said they want to see pics on the car, I can get some pictures on other cars up and you can deside from those. Once someone gives me the measurements of their front and rear I should have a good guess on prices then deside to become a vendor or not!

i'll pass. something tells me that the calipers on the car were shaped for a specific reason and adding a cover isn't something the designers considered.

this has nothing to do with caliper shaping its more caliper size...(you do not want any caliper peeking out of the cover)

this is just a side project with me and two other guys.

I am interested

I have a 2.2 and I am interested. I am getting sick and tire of painting mine. I am in Dayton quite often so let me know if any arrangements can be made.

the 2.2 i would think is the same as the cavy. front disk rear drum. we have the measurements for a cavy.

Right now my price estimates are $80 a set (4) and $40 to do the fronts of the standard cobalts.

If i get a lot a hype I will fork the money to become a vendor.
