Colors for CED

M Dub wanted a cover; a ton of folks want different tow hooks. And back home here rocker cover installs are the norm on saturdays.

M Dub is electric:
please note that M dubs cover is not yet finished, the ecotec turbo has tobe revealed and polished.... and the color is better in person, the sun and the color are hard for the camera to capture without washing out the color some...
a customer ordered this color for his calipers, it is so nice! The coating is very well applied.


Pick ur hook:

the dark blue sparkle in sunlight is awesome; the hooks reflect even the cardboard box in the sunshine, thats why some look blemished.

covers:

we do an exchange service. so used calipers are stripped and then rebuilt after coating. If the caliper cores need new pistons, then the customer has to pay for the pistons. I assume that the seal kits are needed and thats factored into our exchange pricing which is very good, if you saw the time I spend re doing the calipers. So what you get is a new or as new caliper set ready to install... if you sent your own calipers for pc, I would do the same thing, strip media blast, coat, rebuild with new pistons if needed. Genuine Brembo decals are then placed on the finished caliper.

I hope this helps answer your question.

While fun, I would go insane if it's not as close to my dash trim as possible. Mine is for sure pink, but it's not fluorescent.

complete non candy colors is in the 425 range....+ shipping of course...and assuming you have good cores. Had a customer wear his brake pad backing plates right through to the vanes in his front rotors the other day. His calipers are not pretty
