    Awww Drew .... what I meant to post was :

    Are your silver F430 brake calipers the same as the black calipers on my Stradale and would you consider black? I was really looking to swap for RS red, but, I'd consider silver.

    ;)

    He be the man. Premier Motorsport, (310) 559-1562 is a authorized Ferrari collision shop in Culver City, CA. They will refinish your calipers as per the factory with Ferrari script. Lead time is approx. 3 days and cost, you'll have to contact Dave.

    I have a nero daytona 430 with black calipers and challenge wheels and I wish the previous owner had ordered yellow calipers. I think it really enhances the look of the wheel area and compliments the shields (even though the yellow is off slighly) Ideally, IMHO they would be the same color as the shield background though that would not be a correct factory replica.

    I just recently traded up to a F430 from my 360 and found "virtually" the perfect car w/ CCB. Only, it had red calipers when I wanted yellow.

    Thanks to this thread and post, I was able to get a hold of Dave. What a NICE guy!!

    Timing being what it is, I just dropped off my 430 to the MAG Ferrari dealer in Columbus for some modest warranty work, to include a replacement spare key (holding my breath for price quote). Since the key needed to be shipped from Italy and the dealer needed the car, it was going to take over a week, so I went ahead and had the dealer take my calipers off and ship them to Dave.

    He's going to get them in and promised about a week's turnaround. He quoted me $1200. It's a hell of a lot better than the $7000 I'm seeing for new on Ebay.

    Will keep you all posted.
