Rather than opening yourself up for jokes and meme's by friends you can just paint your rotors and calipers.

See this thread for rotor painting:

This guy painted his calipers red but you can just keep it classy and paint them black or silver instead:

These guys are just haters. Buy them, install them, and post pics! Most of the guys who have BBKs in pictures around here just have those covers, anyway.
