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.

If I don't like the way the original brakes look, I will replace my rims with steel wheels and hub caps before considering those MGP covers.

OMG.. I feel secondhand embarrassment that you have these on your car.

They're tacky like white tube socks in dress shoes.

If you choose to step up your caliper cover game, they got Nismo and Brembo covers available.

You could paint the calipers.... but dont use those covers... They are just sad IMHO...

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

Are those the stock calipers with the brembo logo painted on?
