Has anyone out there installed the red brake caliper covers and if so, how do you like them?

also, is there a clear color bra that can be applied to a Vette? I have one on my wife's 350Z and it has been great and it's 6 years old.

Friend, to each his own, but caliper covers are considered cheezewhiz around here, like 'baby on board' flags & neon underbody lighting, not to mention they trap heat.

Paint those puppies w/ high-temp caliper paint...it's not difficult & looks great.

Nope, they don't trap heat.
