$199, not too bad. I wonder how well they prevent rust/brake dust, however.

I like the look - but wouldn't they hold some heat in the calipers?

Do U plan on offering them in Mel Yellow down the road?? Also I have shaved my rear calipers to accomondate the Baer rotors 14" was wondering if this covers would create a spacing problem?? How thick are they?

I'm in for the Yellow ones when offered.
Thanks

My order is in for RED. I was going to paint my calipers but this is a much better alternative. Thank you Josh.
