Oh Greg...always with the jokes

It didnt take me all day....considering who I was talking to I should have been more specific. ..it took 6.265 hours on a late Sat afternoon....while it was raining outside....it was 55 degress at the time. After I did a CAD drawing and did some structural strength testing I made them by hand using a hand crafted and laser etched ceramic blade I had imported from Japan and stainless steel screws imported from Norway....... Better ?

Geez......it only took me about 2 hours.... the only "back and forth" I did was how high to make them.

As for the caliper finnish....... I dont think it will be any worse than keeping the red calipers clean...or the wheels for that matter. My BAER calipers are that dull rough gray color and they dont get covered in brake dust at all. Nothing alittle wheel cleaner and a hose wont wash off.

And thats Monet's hand holding the caliper.....no way I would trust Kyle to hold them up They arent exactly lite......
