MGP caliper covers?

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.

Haters gonna hate! Here's the link; http://calipercovers.com/ . The install is super easy, pull off the wheels, snap on a pair of clips , attach with two hex nuts and you are done!

Don't listen to these assclowns, 99.9% of the population would never know the difference and if they did who gives a sh1t? It's not like your're sticking AMG stickers on your car (people do that all the time) and pretending to have something you don't, you're just dressing up the calipers. Hundreds of Z other 370 owners have done something to dress up their car, so don't listen the the hypocrites.

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.

I'm not trying to pretend anything. I don't like the way the base calipers look.
Why do you think they say Nissan? A pretender would put Brembo or something else on them. It simply covers a very well functioning, albit ugly caliper. 'Nuf said!
