Anyone try caliper covers?
Has anyone tried the caliper covers offered at www.mkbcustoms.com ??? It's a shame how bad the back brakes look. I've seen them at a couple shows, and I'm starting to see them on cars, I'm just wondering if anyone has any opinions?? Has anyone seen anything else close, or better?

Wouldn't want MKB on there and for $109 for a pair of the covers, I think I would just paint the calipers - IMO the painted ones look good. But, if you like them then that is all that matters.

I looked into painting the calipers and to do it right, you would have to powder coat them and the costs I got were more for a finish that they couldn't guarentee. At least he stands by his work. In an email he told me if I didn't like them, send them back.
