IMO, The problem is that GM has Sold a 50k+ Sports car and they left out certain up grades that you can get from a Cheaper Car. They should have put Brembo Brakes on the thing and made the seats out of real leather... I have the Caliper covers and seat covers on mine and I have them painted also but it doesnt change the fact that when i am parked next to a Charger SRT8 and they have these Great looking Brembo breaks and then I get into My Ford F150 and the Seats are real leather with 2 tone inserts? Oh but have a look at my nicley painted Cavalier calipers with my sweet Cobalt steering wheel....really!!! I love GM but sometimes they confuse me

And the seats should be covered with alcantra, not leather in the first place, beats the slippery feel of leather and is considerably more durable.

Okay, now these covers are W-A-Y different than the MGP ones, these look realistic and don't have the lame nut thingees, as these nuts are real, and we like real nuts. These are "Thrash-approved" and look fantastic, hope they come in yella ...

Burning Brakes
That's cause they are not covers. It is a real Big Brake Kit (BBK) made by StopTech. These are the actual calipers in the photo, not covers on the caliper.

Stock calipers are UGLY even if you paint them! Unless you have a Z06 or GS, the calipers are too small and look like crap!. That's my opinion of course. Sure you can spend 1000 plus dollars and get big brakes or do like me and spend a small amount of money and just put on covers. Some like them some don't! I have had mine on for years and no over heating of the brakes, less dust and they cover the ugly calipers! So for me, I like them. As for the haters, look under your hood, many of you have "covers" on your fuel rails, and many other parts that are ugly from the factory. what's the difference??? Give me a "brake" no pun intended..., they are nothing but covers to cover an ugly stock part!
