Has anyone ever polished calipers on a C5 or are they available to purchase somewheres? I see many people have them painted, never seen polished calipers and thought that might look good?

Polishing caliper would probably look killer, but hard to keep that way, I think mine are powder coated, adn I have painted many of them and that is very nice looking too. I recently got some polished (like chrome) stainless steel brake pad back liners so it looks as if you have chrome brake pads, there is a local guy that sells them for $40 for the set for front and rears. He could send you some pictures.

I agree with Ron the upkeep on polished only would look great, I would check with autobody shop to see if clear coat will with stand the high temps on brake calipers. If so there is a solution to the upkeep issue! Good luck and keep us posted.:D

The powdercoated ones in the first thread are mine. Alex asked me to join and answer any powdercoat questions anyone might have.
