Replacing the stock wheels with something more open and would like to "dress up" the calipers/rotors. Looking to get some ideas. Did you buy something or do it yourself? Any constructive ideas or pics would be appreciated.

 

Go with a classic five spoke design. They look great and you'll be able to show off more of the calipers/rotors.

 

I appreciate the reply but should have also mentioned I have coming new 5 spoke wheels. They are even more open than Nismo wheels but thanks for the suggestion. Need suggestions on what you did with the calipers/rotors.

 

Some people do this.

 

and this.

 

Both look great is this a free hand paint thing?

 

and I do this with powdercoat

 

2003z be da man! This Caliper Guru can dress you up, real nice!

 

Man frankmusic, that's exactly what I'm planning to do on my redline (once I've got some more $$$ to waste on my car ). Is that 350Z a decal or is it painted on? Hey 2003z, how much do you charge to powdercoat a set of 4 stock (non-brembo) calipers? And could you use a stencil or something to paint 350Z on each caliper?

As for your question thehdman, seeing as how you have an SB, I would probably paint them red and put a black 350Z logo (or nismo, if you have anything nismo on your car). If you don't want to draw that much attention to the calipers, you could go with black calipers and red or yellow logos, and if you're a crazy guy, you can go with yellow calipers and black logos.

 

$100 for powdercoating, optional: $75 for sanding visible parts smooth first and 15 for JVD caliper stickers.

 

Here's the finished product....excellent quality by 2003z!!!
