I've never heard instructions use such generic terms. Elmers glue and bubble gum are the preferred method of attachment. And when we say it's made out of ABS we mean standard plastic, NOT ABS. :owned:

Those are actually dangerous, there's a video on youtube how some guy put them on his mustang, those melt and prevent brake ventilation.

That one word should deter anyone from even thinking about buying this product.

Just so we're clear... I am in no way, shape or form encouraging anybody to buy these. I just came across these and thought it was funny that people would actually buy these

Umm....do these sell as a kit by any chance that has the caliper covers+rotor covers? Just looking for a present for a friend of myne he wants to buy a genesis.

I remember the last caliper cover thread... It was entertaining- http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...er-covers.html

Hey Mr.Kenchan..:tup:

Lol I can't afford "breaks" either. Especially big things like the tranny. Damn! I think tranny breaks are common too. Yikes!

Yea breaks are damn expensive! Brakes are too! My vehicles seriously drink cash and I'm pretty sure it's a conspiracy
