Fake BBK Caliper Covers
 

Hey guys, I know this has been covered a lot but please understand that I am not talking about the FAKE BREMBO CALIPER COVERs!....:thumbup:

I recently painted my stock calipers red, and looks ok, but would like a better look. I do not need any fake covers that imitate another company,

I simply want some cheap covers that do not have anything but red paint, no logos, I will probably paint my own symbol on there like "Z" or Nissan or something.

The thing is, I cant find any except for the MGP covers which are at least $200!!! do not want to pay that much for just covers.

Any other places?

Thanks,
Teja

In before davidv.

Watch out OP. Buy more caliper paint, paint the calipers silver, be done with it!

Just buy a BBK

I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you.

ALL covers n any shape or form,are junk.
They cheapen your car.
If you do anything,just paint the calipers or,polish the calipers to give a alloy look.

Do you think because you don't have a name on them that makes it ok?

noooooo! don't...

Teha99. 13yo troll:icon8:

I think you should buy the biggest covers you can find...

If you had to choose a best possible outcome, would this guy be

A) A troll
B) Just a clueless non enthusiast
C) The new class of owner that further exemplifies the pussification of the 350Z as it's price point plummets

DO IT!

why bother having caliper covers if they don't look like a Brembo GT kit???

Paint it black/

Ban.

As will I.:cool:

powdercoat them if your not satisfied with the paint. Other than that just leave them alone if your not going to install bbk.

Wowzers I don't even know where to start.

Me either

See post #14.

my new stang came with front brembos .. but regular rears. wtf. I asked the mustang forums if anyone had painted their calipers to make em match in color at least, and the first response suggested I throw some fake calipers on there.

then I was like

people will laugh at you. don't do it.

Did you clear coat over the paint.... That could be why your paint looks crappy

got me laughing pretty hard :icon17:

Ok guys, I get it I guess even no brand name covers are bad...

I did clear coat it. It looks good but only asks good as those puny calipers can look. I was simply trying find a better look since I blew my savings on the car itself lol.

I'm not a 13 year old troll, I am actually 18 and i know you guys hate teens with Z's but I am not a spoiled brat with a dad who bought me the car, I worked to pay for it.

Anyways, the general opinion seems that it would seem like rice...

No 'seem' about it.. The OVERWHELMING opinion is that it would BE rice.

post pictures

man buys car, man can fit whatever he wants to his car, any ridicule that follows said modification can be considered bonus!! LOL

Here is a picture of my Z :thumbup:

Dont know if you can even see the calipers, it came out as a bit of a darker red.

There is no reason to mod for the sake of modding. You should leave the brakes alone or save for Brembos.

Both the fake BBK and painting your stock calipers is totally rice and you will see that is the general opinion on any car forum

You saved for the car at 18. Good way to start adulthood (learning how to save). I would suggest that just as you had patience to save for the Z and not stop half way and use the money on some junk civic, save up again for a BBK

Yeah I might as well get the real deal. Thanks for the help guys

Thinking about caliper covers for my Z, take a look at the pics...
 

I'm thinking about putting some red caliper covers on the brakes of my Z (http://www.carid.com/2006-nissan-350...mgp-91166.html)...here are the pics of my car and the rust on the rotors. What do you guys think I can do to cover up that rust on the rotors?

Think again

It's long been considered a bad idea...

Buy a civic to rice out

BBK

I wish I had $180 to throw away

C'mon, man.

Fixed

Awful

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:

It doesn't get much more ricey than that.

That's pretty bad.

Please report back, I don't get tired of seeing this....

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.

They add 5hp so you may as well

Actually 4.5 on the Dyno..

Lol at Spidey!
