    Factory finish and logo or refinished?

    That's a great deal for someone.

    My story: I scrounged a set of used calipers for $600 and had Bradan rebuild them
    and powder coat with decals for $750. I don't know if it could get done cheaper than that. If you can get these for near that price you're basically at cost.

    They look great!

    Buy it now on this ad for $1000. That's a deal

    Bob - Bradan does not powder coat them - they are painted with a spray gun.

    Those would look great on a black 355 Coupe with factory wheels!

    I'm sure they are refinished. Regardless, calipers take a beating and subject to degradation. If these have been rebuilt and refinished as they appear to be, great deal.

    I have my OEM black ones safely tucked away and refinished yellows on the car. Look amazing and work perfect.

    The pics show some of the caliper pistons are a bit damaged. Are those pistons available separately from somewhere?

    Pistons are not damaged. They have some residual anti squeal compound on them. I will post some photos later. You can still buy new Pistons if you want.

    I apologize. The picture for # 1 looked like the piston contacted the rotors directly. I've seen that happen before.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    I cleaned off the anti squeal residue. All of the Pistons on all four calipers look like this. However, one of the boots has a small tear. I haven't used the calipers since the rebuild. The rebuilder sent them back with pads installed, but I used those pads in a set of black calipers I have; just never cleaned off the residual. Please see eBay for more photos.

    Wow! Someone really got an awesome deal on these.

    Glad I'm using mine and not trying to sell them!
