You’re absolutely right - it is an open forum to discuss matters.
I personally think it’s crosses the line though when an opinion moves to derogatory comments.
’Nuff said.

There is questionable taste, then bad taste, then just flat out dumb! That mod over big brakes would fit the later

I want to get better (bigger) calipers but for now I found a new pair of covers on ebay for $100, they were missing the brackets, which I bought for like idk $40 maybe less I don't remember. I like how it makes everything look clean. Sure you can paint/ powder coat the stockers and they do look better but at the end of the day they are a bitch to keep clean being an open style caliper and they usually look like **** anyways unless you're constantly keeping up with cleaning them and I for one don't want to be bothered with that so I'll keep my covers on until I decide to pull the trigger on a new set.

I don't think they would even fit over a real (big) brake kit lol. They only fit baby brakes I thought , maybe I'm wrong but I'd have to agree with you if someone did that, why cover a nice set of calipers? I don't consider my stock calipers to be nice looking, no matter how much lipstick you put on them.
