I have some brake calipers pretty much ready to ship out next week and thought you guys might be interested in seeing them. Let me know your thoughts on this:

Tony, how much are you asking to get those done, or for those ones you have? Remember I has said I wanted to do that to mine?
You will have to e-mail me at tt_6spd_95@hotmail.com for a price...the moderators do not want to see prices on here.

Thanks

those look bad ass. is there a way you can put the supra logo in the middle of em in black?? like all shiny and then it says supra on black??

-Bill
That would be up to the owner...I am sure it could be done though. There is actually someone out there on MKIV that has the stencils for the Supra logo for the brakes.

Wow very nice. Some people have told me that when you do that they can rust? Is this true? Or do you put some kinda protectent on it?
If you let water sit on the steel parts they will, but otherwise no. If you coat them with a protectant than the water shouldn't harm them at all.

wow, all i can say is .. stunning. i tried to polish my calipers a while back. the rears were easy - they were aluminum, but the fronts were a pain in the ass since they are iron, and i coudl get no smoother than a dull stainless finish. this is spectacular!

Thanks everyone for the compliments...I am glad you all like them.:)

drift tt 23 - Thanks....I still do nitrous bottles if you are interested. In fact I just got done with one and it looks shiny as he$$ too.:D Polishing steel isn't as easy as aluminum, but the shine comes out just as good.:) :cool:
As far as the stock twin turbo record goes...going by your sig...it doesn't look like you have very far to go.:eek:

I polished my calipers a while ago and if you do not coat the fronts with something they will rust fairly quickly and look like shit. I tried a few different things to coat them with but all of them resulted in a dull and somewhat discolored finish. I am not trying to detur anyone from getting this done, but you would be dissapointed if you spent all this money and the fronts started to look like crap in a week.

Holy crap, I thought I was good at polishing, but that is amazing. Is this a side business? I'd like to get my valve covers, intake manifold, and t/b polished, turbo piping too perhaps. Good work.
