Thanks for the input guys. To us car guys yes you can tell they are a little fake but not to bad. I never drive it at all anymore so i hate spending any time doing anything to it anymore so it was easier to buy these and take 10 min to install them than to repaint the calipers. LOL.
I bought a set of these for my 02 SS, put it on one of the front wheels, stood back about 3 feet and almost 
. Needless to say they were off and are going to make an expensive decorative piece somewhere as I doubt I can re-sell these things
Nasty Hawk...not trying to hate on your ride...I just didn't like the look on my car. Some of the cars on their website actually look pretty good with those on.

Yup way too bright, big, fake looking. I also would think having covers on your calipes are bad since it will hold in heat from your brakes. i bet those covers will warp, or color fade/ burn/ melt after prolonged usage.

You have a really nice car, and I really think those covers detract from your car. I'd deal with the flaking paint before I would install those. The first thing that came to my mind was, "Are my calipers really that big"? The covers just make them look too big IMO.
I think two things: his pic is a lil over exposed highlighting the red colors and maybe because those wheels are so open and his shot is so close, it shows the size of the cover but for those that don't know, those front covers are the exact length of the caliper, from one end to the other, exact from tip to tip.
I understand not everyone will go for them, but if you go to their facebook page and see who does, you would be surprised....for instance Rich Evans from SEMA fame.

those remind me of the dust covers people used a few years ago, the flat discs that go between the brakes and wheels...they were polished or painted, and looked sooo corny
