Does anyone out there know where I can find Caliper covers for an 86?
Thanks for the help!

Why would you want caliper covers? They reduce the caliper's ability to dissipate heat.

I have never heard of these caliper covers, but the standard recommendation around here is the Duplicolor ceramic brush on kit, VHT Caliper paint or Duplicolor High Heat Paint.

Ok, I was just wondering what everyone thought! I was thinking of getting new wheels and didn't want the hassle of painting or buying new calipers!
