when you said chrome calipers, i thought it was a huge chrome thing and was like, 'how much chrome can these guys use?" but that actually looks alright. carbon fiber look ones would be interesting, though no one would notice and would know its not real, but what can you do about that, right?

You would have to triple chrome plate them. $100 each probably. Only Down side is you would have to leave your car there or role without breaks for 3 days. Plus keeping them clean would be a serious problem.

Search your yellow pages or go to google for chroming shops.

I can chrome a rim for $100

I wouldn't chrome your calipers unless you like brushing your calipers as much as brushing your teeeeeth.

Nice nice, and like you said in the previous post "someone will eventually ask where you got the stickers" Well that someone is me, where'd you get them!? They look nice, let us know!
