$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.

If you get these caliper covers, I will add you on Facebook. Then unfriend, and block you right away just to show my disapproval of your automotive modification choices. Don't fu**in' do it OP.

Just go buy caliper paint for the same price hommie or go the extra mile and get them powder coated it's not any big deal and looks better than stock

Heres the deal with those.... the only people that care enough that you have brembo brakes are the same people that will know just by looking that they are fake. So be ready for people to call you out on it is all im saying. The masses wont know the difference.

I saw this thread title and I was like

OP please no. Get the MGP caliper colors and just leave them plain black with nothing on them. That's the best option to cover the ugly baby brakes. Or just paint the calipers :tup: But if you get the brembo covers, make sure and get these to go with them...

i love this thread..... OP i have a base..... and i agree the shape is absolutely ugly... wait it out and get the oem BBKs if you arent gonna track ur z.. thats what i did... i actually painted them red before but i feel that it emphasized how small they were... i ended up painting them black to hide them :tup: which i think is the best option

CLOSED for your own protection.


Please don't put cheap covers on your Z, It doesn't deserve it like you don't deserve the flaming. :ugh2:
