    Once you see how they look in person, you instantly hate them. At least in my experience with friends. Nothing looks better than a quality paint job. Or for that price, powdercoat.

    I rather have the calipers be able to vent the heat off instead of trapping it in. Painting the calipers would be a better option IMO.

    We do make fun of these in our shop. Especially when they are attached to a v6 Camaro. I find it funny
