    Caliper covers

    I just discovered these. What are your opinions. They cover just the front of the caliper. I might get matte black just to make things look a little more tidy. I'm not worried about brake fade as suggested I don't use the brakes enough to have that problem. I don't want to remove them to paint them or have them coated. I

    I never saw covers before so don't really know.

    I painted my calipers without removing them. I used a brush and just taped them up.

    I personally am not a fan of caliper covers. I think if you want the look of a performance caliper, ie Brembo. You should invest in them. Now if you want to tidy them up a lil, painting a color like black so they sort of blend in with the wheel well looks better than a fake caliper. If you're going to install the covers you still have to remove the wheel, so why not just paint them instead? And you also don't have to worry about the cover coming loose. Just my opinion.
