Does anyone have any expereince with Caliper Covers. There is a company located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada that manufactures caliper covers for all sorts of makes and models of cars.

I am thinking of potentially purchasing these for my 93 corvette ....but before i do I was hoping to get some feedback from forum members with their experience with these covers.

The websire is: www.calipercovers.com

Thanks

I have them on my red 95. I ordered the flat black ones. My thinking was that since they are covers (and some claim a heat sink type thing) that I didn't want to draw attention as much as cover a caliper I didn't like the looks of. So, I went with the flat black ones and receive compliments. I do have noticeably less brake dust on my wheels as well.

For about twice the price I put C5 calipers on my car that actually helped the car stop better.
