any colors other than red/black coming in the future?

DevilMan02 06-18-2009 01:30 PM

$199, not too bad. I wonder how well they prevent rust/brake dust, however.

What does the text on the covers say? Do you have a close-up pic?

redrckt97 06-18-2009 11:39 PM

I like the look - but wouldn't they hold some heat in the calipers?

BOTYNV1 06-18-2009 11:39 PM

Very interesting, waiting for more detailed pic's. Pretty cool idea.

madmatt9471 06-18-2009 11:46 PM

Very nice! But they would be on the bottom of the list of purchases right now:D

I'd like to see some close ups on C5's:D ANY?

Thanks,Matt

I'm in!
How much is shipping to B.C. Canada??

FRED HAMBLE 06-19-2009 01:23 PM

Do U plan on offering them in Mel Yellow down the road?? Also I have shaved my rear calipers to accomondate the Baer rotors 14" was wondering if this covers would create a spacing problem?? How thick are they?

I'm in for the Yellow ones when offered.
Thanks
FRED

My order is in for RED. I was going to paint my calipers but this is a much better alternative. Thank you Josh.

Dominic Toretto 06-19-2009 05:12 PM

Perfect timing, any closer pics?

"Big Brake Look" isn't that just like having a 3M stick on Hood Scoop or fake stick on rear brake ducts like a ZO6?

:iagree:...........and I'm all about that!

jdmvette 06-20-2009 01:28 AM

i'd like to see some closer pics of the product that is OFF the wheel, as they come from you guys.
