These covers are WAYYYYYYYYY to big, if they were smaller they would look decent.

They seem kind of expensive. I think painting would more practical; but I'll wait to see the pics.

That's some expensive rice right there.

*edit*
Maybe I'm being too harsh. At least they don't say "Brembo" or "Wilwood"

You seriously paid that much money for that crap?!?! Hate to BRAKE it to ya, dooood, but you could've purchased some far better looking ricey junk for less than $30 on eBay.

I think they look pretty bad, just my opinion. The fake rivets and the lack of any form really kills it. Maybe if they were shaped to fit the caliper with interesting details it would look a lot better. I just think the overall design of those is not good or even creative.

I just noticed the price too, yikes. For a $100+ more you could buy the CTS-V calipers from gmpartsdirect and save up a little for the rotors and a few extra parts and have some functional nice looking calipers...

Wow! I really like those cheap Brembo covers, but hate how they mount. The MGP ones ain't too, bad but hell no for $180.

Says it reduces heat and brake dust. I can see how it'll minimize brake dust but reduce heat?
