Default Caliper covers

Saw yellow calipers on a Z51 today, decided I like them. Any top quality covers to be recommended by the group? Don’t want to buy new calipers, looking for cover recommendations. Thinking Aluminum etc no plastic crap. Thanks in advance!

The covers always look cheap to me. What about powder coating the ones you have now?

The problem with caliper covers? They look like caliper covers. You own a Corvette, don't cheapen the look.

You could have yours powder coated if you really want to color swap. Calipers covers will look like some poser stuff, which will be very out of place considering that Z51 has real Brembo's. Covers will be a downgrade, not an upgrade.

I thought covers awhile back, then wanted to paint mine, then was talked out to leave red.
give painting a try, many do it and turn out great and last.
I wasnt going to re-add the corvette emblems if I painted. I kind of liked the more blank look.
