$12 Brembo Caliper Covers
 
Has anyone tried these?
I saw them on ebay for like $20 or less.
I looked at my brakes the other day and they looked so ugly IMO :( I feel like if it just mounts onto your current caliper, its not a bad investment for $20. What you guys think? Just for looks?

You make the payments so do whatever makes you happy man. Just know that our cars dont come with Brembos so you arent fooling anyone.

I saw few of these in my school lot. I can tell if its fake or real from a mile away. Trust me, they do not look like a real brembo caliper. Not even the color! And it's funny how people put on a 6 piston "brembo" which is worth more than the car its installed on.

Sounds like you bought a base model. FYI, caliper covers look worse IMO. IDK when these became a thing to do. I can't wait to see the day someone trys to add them to a drum brake.

Why not add a fake plastic drilled rotors that should do the trick!

Sweet as funnel cake!

Lol poor guy give him a break. It's your car, do as you wish. Just know that anyone that knows about cars will definitely know they are fake and will most likely laugh.
I can also imagine those things melting, which would make me laugh even harder. Lol.

Many people will be able to notice that they are just some cheap covers. They will make fun of you :( .. .. . If you dont want to upgrade then powder coat the OEM ones.

Please .. be aware that the covers do more harm that anything... they obstruct the air flow that help to cool down the pads.
