black calipers?

 

^Absolutely

What, you afraid I was gonna paint stock calipers red?

 

White actually lol.

 

LOL. Yeah, the lips get dirty enough as it is, I don't think I could take white calipers too!

Besides, that's way too much attention to draw to tiny oem calipers.

Now if I had some huge 6-pistons on the other hand.......

Actually, I still would probably go with red instead of white, tough choice... good thing I won't have to make that choice for a very long time!

 

Yea me too, what color to paint a potential bbk is years from now. I like the traditional red also.

 

Need to do the driver's side now.
Plus a few more little things here-and-there.

 

Paint your washer tank black. Bolts look nice

 

In all honesty, I think the washers are a crazy waste of money. Aren't they like $200 to do the whole bay?

 

^Heh... not exactly

And if anyone is interested in doing those bolts/washers, PM me. They're surprisingly affordable

 

^Thanks. I have some "special plans" for the tanks... but in the meantime, I probably will paint them black just so they're not so UUUUGLY

 

do they come in black chrome? I'm tiered of taking everything to the plater, takes too long and gets damn expensive.

 

other than the ones that i talked to you about in pm's. what other bolts can be switched out with these

 

^Unfortunately no
The stainless is slightly darker than chrome, but not as dark as black chrome, nor does it shine as much.
You could try shooting them with a coat of overreduced black paint to give that effect, or just do straight up chrome.

Tim did 12pt bolts.
They look like this:


Another option is "button head" bolts:


Or "cap head" bolts (usually want to add a washer with these)


Chris did his these on his intake manifold.

Or you could always just get the regular hex-head bolts in a chrome finish... but that looks a bit too "classic car" for my taste.

 

I've got button and cap head bolts, around 130 of them, in my bay. They are all stainless steel and have been polished. Some of the bolts on the timing cover and a few others I got chromed.

 

^Oh yeah. I forgot Marcus has a bunch of button head bolts.
