I tried to add a poll for you and do not have the ability, you're going to have to start a new thread and add the poll from the beginning. PM me when you get it up and I'll delete this thread.

Caliper covers are ricey, but if you must - black.

 

[Natesriv]

yeah, neither, and don't paint the ones you have... that's old news too...

I'd love to see someone come out with a 4-wheel disc brake kit for the non-RS's at around $1500 max... like DDM...and they'd engrave DDM on their calipers so they'd look good OEM...sorta like Brembo does..

Id say buy a G2 kit for $40 and paint them, much more low key than the caliper covers. As for red/black, well that's up to you and what look you're going for.

Never do brake covers so dangerous. Paint the calipers.

How's it dangerous? Even if the covers fall off, they'll just get destroyed by the wheel. There's no way for them to interfere with braking functions.

Do. Not. Do. Caliper. Covers.
Nothing makes me laugh harder than people who think caliper covers are mods, along with plastidip, or just painted parts.

Sure, I have dip and paint on my car, but its also my automatic daily driver, I'm not racing anyone in it, or trying to act like its fast.

I would just paint them black instead of using a cover. Mine have some rust on them and I plan on painting them black once I get the rust off.

Let's see well your fooling with you being able to stop properly there are all sorts of good things that could get torn up brake lines etc not to mention ****ing the wheels up. If your good with all that by all means.

If something breaks inside of your wheel well/tire/brake area, there will ALWAYS be the potential for one of these functions to be impaired by debris/shrapnel etc.

Or you can save the $150 for caliper covers, and buy a $20 kit to DIY.
Or be like me and do a Camaro SS brake conversion.

On top of that caliper covers adds an accent color touch to the car, it also reduces the brakes from getting dirt on them. It has nothing to do with pretending to be fast... just because is not your style, doesn't mean others shouldn't have them.
