For those of you that have taken the calipers off for a week or two and sent them in for re coating. Was there any problem with all the brake fluid leaking out and causing difficulty getting all the air bubbles out of the abs?

Take the cap off your reservoir and put saran wrap over it to create a vacuum. That'll help keep the fluid from coming out of the lines some. Also wrap the ends of your lines and secure them somewhere high in the fenderwell. You're still going to want to bleed them.

Anybody got any pics of TB Evo with black wheels and white calipers? I might be going that route but not sure on how it'll turn out. I might take some photos tomorrow and do some photochop.

Yes.
Mine were off for two months while getting coated, and minimal fluid leaked out.

I went through 1+ gallons of fluid with a Motive Power bleeder before I realized there was air trapped in the ABS Module. It made a hell of a mess, but no more squish.

Flourescent yellow or lime green is always a hit with deep blues. Especially if you're rocking darker wheels so they stand out.

here is an anodize finish done by the company called liquid... 3 stages of powder i believe the 2nd is super chrome which allows it to give an anodize look

These are the ones I just bought. I used them last time I did a set of calipers. I did a retrofit on my 2g eclipse and put evo brembos on it so I had to refinish them prior to putting them on. turned out really well. I did 3 coats of base and 3 coats of clear over the stickers.

I'm about to redo my evo's brembos now because I have new rims coming. The rims are red and the car is white so I'm debating on white calipers but I know they will be a pita to keep clean and after track use they will probably yellow out.
