My own personal opinion is I do not like the look of them on the car. I prefer either painted or powdercoated calipers myself. But, it doesn't matter what we think, only what you like on your car.

I don't care for them.
But I also always get a chuckle out of people who condemn something, especially when I see some of the cheesy things others do to their car. Wheels are a big one, imo.
It's your car, do what you want, don't take the word of a few people who don't like them, when they have sold thousands of them and they are on people's cars.

Another vote for Mike Golding powdercoating. IMO the covers are a waste of money. Powdercoated ones are easy to keep clean and the look is far better. Besides, if your wanting to achieve a big-brake look then the only solution is to ante up for one and be done with it. Good luck on whatever you choose...In the end it's YOUR car.
