Default Brake caliper covers?
A mechanic told me that caliper covers for my 2008 z would cause brake fade and/or wear the brakes more quickly . Is this a fact? I just want them for asthetiscs. Anyone have any experience with caliper covers for a 2008 Z?

Acura actually makes OEM caliper covers. Did not know this until I owned a 2010 TSX for a short while. But go with what you like, I personally wouldn't do it.
