You could paint the calipers.... but dont use those covers... They are just sad IMHO... Here is a blurry Picture of my Brembo Big Brake on my Z.

My main powdercoating business is with corvette brakes. I can't tell you the number of customers who have bought those covers, then come to me afterwards saying they should have just had them powdercoated and not wasted their time and money on these cheap things.

![]() ![]() ![]() Just check the classifieds section. From time to time you will see people selling their sport calipers.

wow... Actually with the number of people here with fake body kits and fake wheels I'm not really surprised someone popped up with these.. Might as well stick on some fender vents and hood scoops.

you know, maybe if they were plain with nothing on them, they might look almost acceptable. But I've seen them in person and the cheesy stickers that look like bolt heads are really ridiculous.

Dr evil they look really good man. Don't listen to the people on here. They take offense when something isn't thousands of dollars and JDM. So sad and narrow minded. Nice post man!!!
Where did you get them and what's the install like. I'm gonna pick a pair up |

I don't know man, this is different than buying knock off wheels. A wheel is still a wheel, regardless of quality/brand. But this is a caliper cover. It's like pretending to have a functioning BBK, and it won't fool any real car guys from any distance. I have the base brakes, and I would never do this. Get a BBK or keep it classy and stock, don't put a piece of plastic over it. Not hating, just have more respect for the Z than this.
