Lightbulb What do you guys think of these caliper covers?

I saw this video today and these caliper covers look pretty cool. I'm really considering buying them. I love my stock brakes. They work pretty well if you have decent brake pads. But I love the look of big fancy calipers. I think these would look pretty nice on an f-body.

I think they're cheesy and wouldnt put them on my car. I'll stick with the paint I put on them. Its all in the prep.

I think it would look killer with those covers and a set of slotted or drilled rotors.

they look even worse in person i saw them on a mustang the other day
..seems like a no brainer to me...it costs like $10, its easy, and it looks a hell of a lot better if you just paint them, just my opinion

Holy Crap, I did some digging and those things look terrible! They look like big fake plastic bubble things. Glad I looked up some pics.

i could've guess that it was gonna look horrible. it's like a wanna be 6 piston brembo piece of **** that attaches to your stock calipers and gives you less options for wheels
