Group buy, Sport Caliper Powdercoating
 
I am cutting back on the business now and no longer accepting new customers. I'm still here for previous customers and shops that I do work for but in a more limited capacity and my lifetime warranty still applies to all previously accomplished work.

is this fronts only, or all 4 corners?

nice, good price for these! If I wasn't planning on getting into powdercoating myself I'd definitely go for it. I am in the process of gathering materials to build my oven right now.

Where are you located at? Cause if there was a way to just bring the car to you, that would make it sweeter.

Do the Sport Pkg brakes with the Nissan logo, is the logo raised on the caliper, or is it just painted/sticker?

Would you rice it and slap brembo decals on the akebonos? j/k lol.

I am in Altanta. I do installs for local people at for an additional charge.


The letters aren't raised on our cars, but silk screened on from the factory. My normal lettering method is to paint them on using a vinyl stencil, then clearcoating the entire caliper with powdercoat. The only exception to that is reds and oranges with white or silver lettering get vinyl decals, as the reds bleed through and turn the lettering pink.


Mustang, I'll put whatever logo someone wants on them, regardless of how wrong it is.:p

Ok just wondering, I would go for a Blue myself with no logo. Just didn't wanna still see 'Nissan' coming through because its part of the caliper.

ATL huh... hmm... Quite a drive from AZ. Damn lol.

it's a core swap...he sends you the calipers, you do the swap in your garage and send him your old calipers back. You won't have much down-time, so it shouldn't be any worse than driving to where he is and doing the pull off, powdercoat, install, and re-bleed at his place.

My problem is when it comes to brakes, I'm not too confident to do it myself, I'd have to wait till they get here and have a shop do them. (No reason to worry... just saying.) My expertise is bolt ons and electronics lol.

Caravanshaka 07-28-2009 11:54 AM

brakes aren't too bad once you sit down and do them. The bleeding can be a big PITA, but if you put speed-bleeders on while you are doing it that can become a lot less painful. Just hire a friend with pizza and a six pack to help you out :tup:

XwChriswX 07-28-2009 11:57 AM

lol Too bad your in Dallas :wink:

what about if it just says NISSAN on the calipers?
