I was going to put covers on mine until I saw a set on a C5. It just didn't appeal to me. I would have liked Tom powder coat them but I though I would try the DupliColor paint kit. It cost about $20 and a few ours work but I have been happy with the results. Paint has held up well for over 2 years now. :thumbs:

Caliper covers are tacky as all hell just like tail light louvers and chrome exhaust plates. Might as well just go to AutoZone and stock up on everything with an adhesive backing. To each his own however...

Because as we all know, Ferraris always have lots of stuff glued onto them.

Caliper covers are IMHO the very pinnacle of tacky.

If you put a set of these Big Balla Spinners on your car, nobody will notice your brake calipers.

:woohoo:

They're horrible. If they were any worse, I'd be able to mathematically prove they're tacky.

Those look too expensive for a Vette...they could only go on an expensive car like a Ferrari.:D:D

If you'd ever seen them in person, you wouldn't be asking the question. They're absolutely wrong in every aspect.
