thx john, at this point. i'm trusting the guy thats doing them and they're finished. last i heard was the boots and seals being replaced and then boxed and shipped back!

so i wont know from right vs wrong? all i know i know is they're supposed to bolt right back on, new bleed and good to go. but he does, and i trust him. i got more of an education on these and the "process" than i ever would have thought!

and re: price?! all i can say is.. if ANYone is interested in getting them done with about a 2 week turn time? get him while he's crazy as the price is.. well, i don't know how/why he's doing it for the price I've paid? if it isn't strictly as a favor!.. and it isn't. he's just a stand up guy.

a pic after clearcoat #1 i sobered up so pic #2 is no longer relevant

Mark that price holds for forum guys who want it. I spoke at length to jared about this and since he is a turbo owner he felt the porsche tax wasnt needed

yeah, steve.. jared is an ace among mice! a genuine stand up guy. trkg # sent me today! i cant friggin wait.

re: price:? i just don't post others prices out of respect or so as to not impinge upon someones desire to make their own deal.

unless its NOT a private deal like a shop or an online seller etc. cos then it's open knowledge. as you know his price is KILLER! /stoked. cant wait to see em and put em on. just ordered new dampers frt/rear..i'm all set

btw happy nu year man.. you've been a great help and source of info! cheers.

1/3/16: just received mine and to say they are stunning beyond "NEW" is an understatement. the color/finsh is incomparable and there is NO way one could tell them from an OEM job/powder/logo's/boots/seals etc. all of it, he just nailed it,

jared, you killed it and i'm as happy as i could possible be. thank you. it's an incredible service. anyone even THINKING about this, go for it. you'll be surprised beyond expectation.

thx again! install soon!

Definitely, I'm always very cautious any time I pull my wheels off not to damage the finish of the calipers (I literally have a towel that I place over the calipers just in case, yes I know I'm insane... Lmao)...but now at least I know they could be brought to better than new without a problem or too much $$

When do you plan to slap them on?

thx guys! was SUPPOSED to be today!! but friggin pelican SCREWED up my order ( 20 miles away, no less..) and said parts would ship last Thursday and STILL haven't shipped so I'm fkd until next weekend re install at the EARLIEST!

i'm pi**ed. i love pelican but if you TELL a customer @ time of order VERBALLY that the PARTS ARE IN STOCK AND WILL SHIP THAT SAME DAY!!!!

MAKE GOOD on PROMISES! OR CUT BAIT!. ( pi**sed!! ). really messed me up since my tech works at a PORSCHE shop. not like he's just siting' around waiting to swap my calipers

but they make great desk ornaments! since the tree is gone

This would be a great spot for Jason at warehouse33auto.com to chime in.
I like Pelican too, and even have one of their stickers on my lift. But, warehouse33 is a small shop where the owner processes my order personally. And he gives me a 10% discount when I put RENNLIST in the coupon code box.

jason's to cool a guy to slag pelican, but pelican needs to get their sh*t together, since it's both the little AND the big sh*t that counts. not one OR the other.

they fkd up.
