Got some Akebono calipers!

A friend was able to call around and got in touch with the local LKQ yard. I called them about it and they were able to order a set. I'm a happy camper considering how they go for.

Nice find, how much did you get them for?

That's what I was thinking. Use the money I saved to change the colors or get some good rotors or pads. You guys have any ideas on color? Would like to see what everyone did.

Nice price! Should be able to find rotors & pads for another $450 give or take, so a BBK for about $900 is
Here's some caliper ideas

Heck, I might not even change the colors on the calipers. They just need some good cleaning. Brake pads are still in there. Looks like they're still good to go. I'll keep exploring my options though.
