Do these have the CORVETTE script on them and are you planning on any other colors?

laconiajack 06-18-2009 02:15 PM

I assume if they are an "Easy Install, Approx 10 minutes each", they can be installed without removing and reinstalling the wheel/tire assemblies, correct? Please expand on how the "Patented Fastening System" works, or if you prefer, provide the patent number. They look tempting assuming their installation is both easy and secure.

Im thinking theres no close up for a reason. Also thinking these are going to impede brake cooling.

Maybe ... My thought is if it only covers the visible part of the caliper or if it covers the whole thing.

Wow those look awesome! I think we throw around the word 'rice' way to liberally. These look a hell of a lot better than those goofy looking brake covers from ecklers. Quick question, does the cover go over the entire caliper or just the front? Do you have to remove the caliper to install these or just the wheels? I will be getting a set for sure. :cheers:

Hmm... Those do look like the RPI product. I wonder if the text on the RPI product say Corvette?

BigButtLover 06-18-2009 03:19 PM

Will they impede natural air flow to cool the brakes?

I'm sorry - but if you can't change a tire / remove the wheel we must revoke your "man card".

Seriously - I'd like to see how these are mounted to the calipers. I think they look great.

We cannot get them with Corvette, GM doesn't allow it.

No they will not impede the air flow. These cover the outside and still allow all cooling.
