Default C3 Caliper Covers
Hi Guys!

Does anyone know if anyone is making good quality caliper covers for the C3s? I see them for the C4s and up on Ebay. I just put new american racing wheels on and have some new slotted and drilled rotors and instead of painting the calipes would be nice to just cover them.

Sorry if this offends you....but on your car I think they would look cheap.....paint is probably the best way to go.

Powdercoating would be even better and longer lasting.

I stand corrected....if you want to go to the trouble to re and re.....this is probably the way to only have to do it once.

Caliper heat paint is less than $10.00 at your local automotive store.
