Here are mine, it was done by Tony. If you want his contact info, just PM me. His powder coating survived the Salt Flats under high speed driving/braking and over 3k miles in a week. I would highly recommend him.

i agree with the previous post on buying a can of good high heat paint and getting the decals from xenon mods. i did it on my cayenne, painted them red, and put on the decals, looks phenomenol, and cost me less than $20. i think in the summer i might change it up to yellow....now that i know its been done and still looks great! if i spent all that $ on powdercoating, i wouldnt so freely have the option to change colors whenever i pleased

Is that the one that lists them for like a $1000 extra and then refunds it when he gets the cores back? I think that's him.....Not 100% tho...

Tony is the guy that requires a deposit the calipers, just in case you don't return your core. It's rather high, but I got it back thou. hmm come to think of it he still has my Boxster calipers....
