Wheel dust protectors.

Are the wheel dust protectors on my 95 coupe factory or did somebody add them. Is it OK to remove them if they ARE factory?

Wheel dust protectors may prevent dust but they also impair brake cooling. I would recommend removal , resulting in better braking. You can always wash dust away.

P l e a s e. Remove the dust covers! You want the full splendor and beauty of the brakes to shine through! Not to mention better brake performance!!!

With basic daily driving is this really an issue? I would think it would only be a problem in track situations.
