torchredgt Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Check out this website http://www.calipercover.net/ The make really cool caliper covers that look like you have brembos. A much cheaper alternative. I am waiting to hear back from them to see if they fit our cars. Anybody ever see this site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts - if ya want a big brake kit look - buy a big brake kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts - if ya want a big brake kit look - buy a big brake kit. my brakes are just fine from the factory. Never had any intention of upgrading. Just wanted to paint my calipers. If I can get red covers instead of painting id rather do that, wheather it says Brembo or not. Just want red calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT2666 Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 We do have some of the ugliest calipers around. I'd love to do my brakes but 3k is a lot of cash and I really think many of the options are extreme overkill. The Baer Extreme has some of largest calipers I've ever seen, since when do you need to have 20" wheels to have decent brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the money we spend its the least they could have done . but for under 100 if I can get the same look, it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RStangsOC Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hey there, Just seems kinda risky to me. They are held on with "high quality silicone". Not sure what they are made of, but it probably wouldnt be pretty if one fell off at highway speeds. Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 That looks like a very bad idea. Anyway, that web site is written oddly, like its a chinese translation or something...no telling where that junk is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloy Dave Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Still, would I buy them - not +1 Smacks of ricer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC#0471 Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 +1 on the not so great idea. I have a hard enough time with the fakey-doo scoop, but have learned to like its looks the rivets are super cool. And we all know that a flying scoop would be clear of the wheels.

Jer Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 My favorite picture is the one that looks like a huge Brembo caliper on a tiny, undersized stock rotor. It's ricer, it's phony, and it's a ripoff to Brembo. Three strikes. I don't like that any more than I like the idea of someone selling cheesy add-ons to turn a Mustang GT into a fake SGT. Just my 2 cents. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
