Yup. They are made for the LS1 style brakes, so its tough to put them on the v6 style calipers, but I made it work.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I cheated.

I sandblasted the rotors and calipers before I painted them. So thats probally where your seeing that great difference.

Nah, its not.

I called DupiColor and talked to them, and had them send me caliper paint (with ceramic) with some clear coat in it in sprayable form. So I used a paint gun. Total of $21 for a pint of the paint shipped.

And the letters are classic Brent Franker. Best deal on the net
