Default 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!....

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

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.

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

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

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.
