Default Mach Brakes

Just wondering if I can get the red things for my Mach, are they calipers or what are they called? I dont know anything about brakes. Don't need the discs or anything, it already has 13" brakes. Just want the red for appearance.

yeah they are calipers, your better off just painting them red, get some caliper paint from your autozone and clean em up and put a couple of coats on and they will look real nice, click on the picture in my sig and you will see my brakes

Don't paint them. Take them to a shop and have them powder coated correctly.

Paint them with high temp paint with ceramic. I'd rather pay 4 bucks than 200 bucks.
Mine are new Mach 1's and i painted mine red and they look like they came from factory that way.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the calipers alone are at least $200! You'd be better off painting them. You probably could find someone on the Mach 1 registry site that has done this and has pictures.

i just bought my mach 1's brake calipers, just calipers including rotors it was way more. but yeah i paid 199.00 not including shipping for them.
I don't have a pic of the mach'1s but here's a pic of my old calipers that i painted red.

The pic didn't come up for some reason.
