Rice or nice?
this mild rice, my rice meter isn't wildly going on, maybe because it says Corvette an not Brembos or something and maybe because it looks more like a cover and no Calipers. what do you think

I think they look better than a faded caliper and dresses up the tire, JMHO. To each their own I say. The make them in Silver, Black and Red.

I bought them when they first came out...sold them right away. They do not fit well and the guy is making a killing on them at the exorbitant price they are at now. run away as fast as you can and save up for the real deal....
When your car's paint is faded, you don't just cover it up. LOL

I bought the car used and it appears mostly stock. Here is what is on there now and how I bought it. The appear silver but faded. Is this stock? What would be an upgrade? I like the look of the Black Brake covers like the red ones above. I also like the look of the highly polished,slotted, and drilled rotors. What would be the "real" upgraded look??? What are the real costs to do this type of upgrade??
Thanks for the patience and help in advance.
