Correct ! Ecklers has the best price , about $119 on line. Other catalogs have them also, but at much higher prices ! Mine are 'torch red' , and I 've received many compliments. One thing they don't tell you is that the rear calipers must be removed in order to install, fronts ,just slip right on .

Ecklers sells them - they look pretty good. Someone on here has a set - I saw it in a pic the other day but don't remember who had them on their car.

Got mine from ecklers about 2 weeks ago and paid $200. for a set of chrome hub covers and the rear brake caliper must be moved to install, fronts fit without taking anything off.

I'm having a hard time finding it on Eckler's website.

Anyone know a part number?

Thanks

Actually, you do not have to remove the rear brake calipers to install the rotor cover. Push the lugs out of the hub, place the rotor cover, then pull the lugs back through the using the lug nuts (five minute job). Much easier than messing with the caliper removal!
