Just had my Model 3 done. They look fantastic. For those wanting to know the price, it was $4000. $1000 per wheel. OK maybe I was being a bit selfish and not wanting anybody else to get it done so mine looks better than everyone else..... the real cost was $250. Takes a bit less than 2 hours.
He recommends not painting them red though, something about that colour causing seizures in small children and dogs.... there I go again sorry.

Looks like the Tesla tax is in full force here. I recall this being $220 with a promo for $180, and that covered 6 calipers.
Oh well, still getting it done.

Wondering:
How did it survive our winter?
Asking as a friend of mine painted his calipers and after one winter his paint was almost gone (I don't know who did it for him - but not the guys mentioned in here).
It has survived 2 winters and looks brand new.
Spence doesn’t do shoddy work
he does 3-4 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear coat and bakes each layer in. I’ve been power washed here and there and zero flaking!

@Tony_YYZ FWIW - I am really happy I got mine done. Everyone who has seen them in person loves them.
They are going to look even better with some black turbine rims over them...

$250.00 was the price // but you'll be satisfied I believe. I've done a couple of good washes and mine look completely fine // looks like I just got them painted still.

Nice price ... that is going rate per caliper in California
That's outrageous! WOAH.

FYI, I'm in talks with Spence Tire right now to try and get a new caliper decal made to match the size and spacing of the Model 3's OEM look. Will report back as they progress.

Cool, keep us posted. Going to get this done once I finish PPF this weekend
Will do!
LOL how does she brake now with those painted rotors
Any paint on the rotors will be scraped right off once the pads grab.
I actually did the same and he sent me the new decal design he's going to install for me. I wanted it smaller text and spaced out more. It looks good.

Model 3's don't matter, this thread is for X and S owners only. We matter more, Model 3 calipers suck.*
*None of this is true or even believed, but this thread is rather pedestrian and no serious arguments, so I thought I'd spice it up a bit.

Yeah he sent me the work in progress one. We are trying to get the spacing and font size just right. He has another car coming in on Saturday to get done so he'll take some more measurements with that one. Unfortunately my car is with Tesla Service so I couldn't assist more.
That would be my car, hot day at the shop but watching the football match got me though it. It's not the smaller size design but I like how they look when it's all done. Spence did offer to redo it when they have the new design but this is fine for me. Great guys there.
