quote raping - quoting an original post and changing some of the words to f*ck with the original poster or make them sound homo.

same price whether you send yours or I send you mine. Core swap just has an additional fully refundable 650 core charge.

So I'd have to have my calipers re-bled? I just had 4 quarts of motul put in :(

yes, why so much? It takes two pints to flush the system. If you did the exchange, you would need less than one bottle.

Mike has the best customer service, I highly recommend using him if you want quality work from someone who stands behind it.

This is true guys...I can vouch for the post purchase service he provides. Mike fully stands behind his work. I wouldn't hesitate doing business with him!

NewYorkJon34 10-17-2010 10:58 PM

Do you have any installed pics? Who ordered those white akebono brake calipers?

1fast350z 10-18-2010 12:44 AM

wow, that looks good!

worldfamousz 10-18-2010 02:00 PM

Mike's done good works, I enjoy seeing the custom brakes especially ;)

Mike 10-19-2010 09:25 AM

thanks!
those white ones were for a G37 guy up in new york or new jersey.

NewYorkJon34 10-19-2010 01:51 PM

Dang, did he post any more pics of them on the car?

Mike 10-20-2010 08:11 AM

I think on the G forums, but that was well over a year and a half ago, so I don't know where they are posted.

no, I and many other powdercoaters have been searching for a source for a color like that for 5 years now.

NewYorkJon34 10-24-2010 03:09 PM

Hey mike, what color caliper do you personality think will look best on a White Z?

depends if you want flash or understated.

Flash, I like candy purple:

and plain old red

For a little subtlety, Crystal Red Metallic (candy red):

Ha ha. Well I can tell you that the red stands out pretty nice on a MB car but I can respect the need to turn it up a bit. :tup:

I checked out your album. Nice job there. :tiphat:

I think your choices are a bit limited. Blue would look good but I don't think it will be "flashy".
Are you planning on changing the color of the door handles? If not maybe do them in a shade of silver to match them. Just a thought.

Well my plan is to change the color of my new wheels or keep em. I was thinking about going with a peal white caliper.Or maybe gold wheels and white caliper of white wheels with blue


BTW..Thanks for the kind words.

Mike 10-25-2010 09:26 AM

gold calipers look good with MB.

the lettering is either spray painted on or vinyl sticker, then clearcoated. Depends on the color of the lettering and how I feel that day. Both perform equally the same in the end.
