Default Anyone sell's caliper covers for 98-02 F bodys?

I'm going to do a brake service, and instead of painting the calipers, I remember seeing caliper covers somewhere that go over the stock calipers. Anyone know who sells them and if they are any good?

Lol you can tell they're fake from a mile a way. Nothin says "not a car guy" like putting fake stuff on a car. I'd paint them I'd paint them. It takes a few hours you don't have to take them off the car and it looks a ton better than fake plastic plates

I've seen the MGP caliper covers in person on a Mustang once upon a time...from a long way away, I said "Oh damn...that dude has a big brake kit. He must be serious into road racing or something."

As I got closer to the car and realized they were covers, my eyes rolled back in my head and my thought changed to "What a poser."

Bottom line: from 100+ feet away, they look cool. When people realize what they are, they will laugh at you. I take that back...when people that know anything about cars realize what they are, they will laugh at you. People that don't know anything about cars will probably assume they are the real deal.
