Sorry Lucky...didn't mean to take your spot, but I couldn't help myself.

Is putting on caliper covers kindof like putting on a bra cover on the front of your Vett?

They are called brake pad covers.They are chrome plates that you put over the pad it self.With drilled slotted rotors, painted calibers these covers that go over the pads makes the whole brake and rotors look clean and sweet.I will get up a pic today of the ones i did on my 01. I want to do the same on my 04.Ill put up picks later......
