Its calipers anyways...
Hey y'all, I just did the calipers on the S this past weekend and just now got around to putting up pics. I dremeled down as much of the caliper as I could fits all the bits into. This is a strenuous process, especially if you keep the calipers on the car, as I did. I used the metal carbide grinding plate first, then followed that up with 3 different grits of sanding bits. Finished it off with 220, and then 400 grit sandpaper. It was so shiny when I was done, I couldnt believe it. I then used Duplicolor High-Temp Engine Enamel in Gloss Black, and did 5 coats of color. I let it dry for about 2 hours, then applied the decal, and then cleared 5 times shortly thereafter. I think they turned out great, especially better than how they look stock with the nasty casting marks. Here ya go:
The rears I didnt sand down as much (barely at all actually, but I did clean them well. I used the same painting process, with less clear).
What'cha think?
-Matt

I like how they came out and the color combo.
Do the stock calipers come with the S2000 logo on them or did you do that yourself?

And I dont think they will change colors. People have had these on for years with no problems at all, and 90% of the people just slap them on and paint them.
