Got those powdercoated calpiers in!
I had originally intended on just putting on the 951 rocker extensions this weekend but once I got the right nuts that project was done very quickly. So I decided to pass more time by putting on the powder coated caliper brackets I got from jgporsche.
All in all, I'm happy with them, but the second of each caliper (front and rear) were much easier than the first once I figured out how to reassemble everything. The rears are still kind of a pain, though, and hopefully those won't be touched for a long, long time!
The car needs a bath. But it's too cold to bother with right now!

LOL, you didn't take long to install them.
The first 2 pics really don't do the calipers justice.......
BUT, the 2nd 2 pics look VERY nice!
Do you mind if I use a couple of these pics for my website?

Yeah, like I said I was planning on not doing them yet. But I was in the car tinkerin' mode and had the time, so...
You're right that the first two don't really do any justice, but it does show exactly what I did. Unfortunately, I was limited in the angles I could take so I couldn't do all that much. It's the second two that really matter.
Feel free to use the pics! Right now the car is dirty (too cold to clean!) but when I give her the spring cleaning, I'll send you some better pics that you can use.
And the centercaps? I'm going against the grain, maaaannnn!

The friend that went with me to the meet that one day just got back from Kuwait. I have that pic on my desktop at work and we were just talking about it. That was a long *** drive for us..... made shorter by 17lbs. of boost, LOL.

No rebuild kit necessary. These are really the caliper brackets. The actual caliper itself isn't pictured, you just slip it in those openings at the bottom of the pics. It'll make sense when you actually do it.
