There is a reason I leave the Firebird badges on, and ram air hoods, t-tops, V8 badges, TA bumpers, 3" exhausts, giant aluminum spoilers, underglow, 22s, Enkei/Motegi wheels, and caliper covers off my car.
It is not a TA, it is not a donkmobile, it is not a pimp car, it is not a riceburner, and it is not a show car, or one trying to hide the fact that it has dirty OEM calipers.
Your car had ZR1 wheels for a while. Was your car a ZR1 Corvette during that time? Didn't think so. Keep in mind your car has Enkei wheels, and that most people that have Enkei's have imports:
Your car is an LT1 Firehawk. Why don't you have the ROH Firehawk wheels? You are certainly not trying to indicate your car is an import by having Enkei wheels, not that 90% of the people would know the brand by looking at the above picture. If you have anything else you want to point out to me about my "poser" car, take it to PM.
Let's leave this conversation at that and let the OP make some sales. These caliper covers seemed pretty popular at a Ford/Mustang show that a few LS1tech guys and I went to - so "poser" or not, apparently show people like them.

LOL, holy **** I hit a nerve.
OMG I have Enkeis on my car I'm a ricer...OMG WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?! Yes my car is an import, my friends and I jokingly call my car a Domestic Supra, because I'm SUCH a ricer.
My Hawk wheels sitting under a cover, along with another set of wheels. My Firehawk wheels are on the car only when I feel like it. I have 2 other sets of wheels I can risk to bend on the roads here rather than a set of limited wheels that you cannot find anymore.
And, yes my car was a ZR1, thanks for asking. I installed a LT5 - MacGyver style using only duct tape and toothpicks. I actually made the wiring harness using a coathanger and an old keyboard. But alas, I didn't really care for the "5" on the engine, so I went back to a number I thought suited my Firehawk better, 1. I was also thinking of making my own engine, an LT8. I was going to make one for you, but you could only be a LT6, sorry.
Dude, btw, you're my hero. /ehugz

Camaro Caliper Covers
I'm not sure on the timing right now for the Camaro, but it will be this year. Our R&D schedule is pretty full at the moment. The Corvette caliper covers at the SEMA show were the top request, so they have been first on the list. We did pick up a SEMA Global Award at the show and the product well received.
We started out with the Mustang toward the end of last summer and things have really taken off. Caliper Covers fit into the same category as hood scoops, louvers, wing tips, etc. I doubt you think painting your calipers is rice. Caliper Covers offer a better solution.
The covers do offer some functionality than other styling products. They do reduce some of the brake dust and keep your calipers cooler. They are made of aerospace aluminum. Aluminum is used in many applications to draw heat away, ie. your pc.
You can see a test video we did on our videopage http://www.calipercovers.com/_e/page/1013/Video_Page.htm
Check out the custom work you can also have done. We offer color paint match to your car and special engraving services. Our product allows you to personalize your car like no other styling product.
Thank you for the warm reception to the forum. We have received many emails already. The F-bodys will not be ignored, just give us some time.

Keeps the calipers cooler... So you're saying that those tiny little mounting tabs are going to draw heat out of the coolest part of the caliper (near the sliders)?
What grade of aluminum are you using? using buzzwords like "aerospace aluminum" is pretty weak.
Oh, and by the way.. a device used to stop a vehicle from rolling is called a wheel CHOCK. Chalk is what you use on a chalk board. http://www.calipercovers.com/_e/page...irections1.pdf
