Painted calipers

I have seen several pictures of 2007 Tahoe's with painted calipers. I was wondering if anybody knew where to buy some in red or yellow?

Here's some:

My '02 TrailBlazer had nice silver calipers.  Not sure why with the larger wheels and more visible calipers, the new Tahoe's aren't.
 
Hope this helps.

Here is the Tahoe that I saw last night with the painted calipers.

Painted calipers are normally associated with high performance cars not necessarily trucks or SUV's. And if the factory installed every little goodie and mod it wouldn't leave a whole lot for the guys that like to tinker around and personalize their rides, would it?

Not to mention that if GM painted them red then 90% of you guys would belly ache that they weren't yellow.

I agree.  Just stating that mine had silver from the factory.

Nice grill.  Could you tell what it was?  Looks like a fine mesh.

When I uploaded that picture to shutterfly it resized it some. It does have a fine mesh grill. I wish I could remember what site I found it on.

I understand that logic, but why not at least make the calipers match each other?  I am going to paint mine a nice gloss black along with the rusty tail pipe.

they look like the Gianelle 5 Shot

I have used G2 in the past.  It goes on well and really holds up.  I would use it again.  I'm just trying to decide what color for this ride.

Those wheels are the 5 shot!  That tahoe has been everywhere.   Magazines, cardomain.com, yahoo.com, etc.  It is used in advertising all over.  It is sweet!  I think I am going to drop my tahoe this spring.

since i blacked out everything in my tahoe i painted my calipers black. it goes with the theme.

I just noticed the silver bowtie.  Looks good on the black with that grille.

I really like that grille... If anyone has seen a manufacturer of a mesh grille, let me know...

Here is a link to a mesh grille by grillecraft for sale on e-bay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-UP-Tahoe-Suburban-Avalanche-GrillCraft-Mesh-Grille_W0QQitemZ190064632270QQihZ009QQcategoryZ33645QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I'm still waiting on StreetScene to deliver my stainless Speed grille.  They may not be "mesh" enough for you.
