For brakes to work properly they must dissipate heat. anything to keep the heat next to the caliper would or may cause the brakes not to function properly.

Just another company trying to extract $$ out of corvette ownes pockets.

The wheels are polished and the brakes are chrome.....but trust me my pockets are not deep at all. Both my wife and I work 2 jobs ( but they are fun and well worth it) and we are as Corvette poor as the rest of you crazy car people

Sorry if folks got offended, just thought I'd ask a simple question. I just thought this was somplace where GM fell down on making the stock car look right. Just wanted to get some opinions.

How many posts does a newbie have to make before they can ask question and not get his head chopped off?
