Have any of the other guys with Wilwood brakes replaced any parts yet? If so, are you buying direct from Wilwood, or finding the parts in other places?
Due to the HOT HOT HOT HOT BRIGHT Arizona sun, my calipers and rotor hats are faded and look brown. I am looking to replace them. I know WIlwoods prices, and they are rather high, so I was wondering if people had foundother places to buy the parts.

Just have them re anodized. $125 normally what we pay for a batch of parts. They turn brown because wilwood goes cheap on the anodize and does not leave them in the tank long enough
hits the purple hue after a few months and not black.

Try PM'ing NHKJ to see what he can do through Kronos. I'm not sure if he can get them or not. If not, try Tuner Tools. One of my friend's run it (along with his parents) they sponsor the hell out of the racecar.

TunerTools Its not listed on their site, since they special in fuel and air stuff and not so much in chassis stuff. I know they can get it though, just have to call/email.
