Default for 1997 cobra owners...brake caliper question

My friend has a 1997 black cobra and she's putting new 6 piston brakes on it...she gave me her front brakes except the pads and rotors that were on the cobra. I was wondering what color your calipers were when you got the car...the brakes I got are red and the only red brakes I can find are the 10th anniv. ones...just curious to see what color everybody elses is and of course they say cobra on them

Mine are red. But I made them that way. They were not painted. The 99-01's were unpainted, the 03's are red and I think the 04's are black.

Well yeah, mechanically they are all the same. Different years were different colors. Looks like someone painted them red like I did with my 99 calipers.

G2 sells caliper paint that is brush on. Once dry it looks OEM. It's what I used.
