Default most expensive brake upgrade i done

took my fbody calipers to a local shop to have them do powder coating. also have them install new rebuild kit, new decals, shaved off and smooth out rough surfaces. i post pictures of the caliper before the modification as you can see they weld the eyelets on the front calipers and smooth it out. also the back calipers cathedral shape were weld and smooth out to make it match to the front. im real happy with the calipers.

Those look AWESOME! That's the color scheme I want to powder coat my Monte's calipers! Very cool!

Can't wait to see them on the 'Bird!!

What did you do to prep them? Work them over with a wire wheel??
