Brembo brake/caliper covers

[Terrorize]

Hmm...i noticed one of the members put on some Brembo brake/caliper covers..and they look great...any reputable vendors sell them? i searched ebay..and i don't want to go there unless its my last resort...

i forgot who the member was...and couldn't find the thread that it was mentioned in....or else i would just pm him...

thanks

I dunno... personally I think it's really tacky, like stuffing socks in your underwear to impress a girl...

If you must, paint your original calipers!

Hey! - the sock trick works!


Those covers hold the heat in. They may not be the greatest idea.

With any sort of serious track work, the caliper covers would probably melt into a gooey red mass on your brakes if they haven't first fallen off the car.

STILL, i think of them every nigt before I sleep. :biggrin:

[Terrorize]

I don't go on the track at all...more of a daily driver...i just like the look of having the cool Brembo brake look....
Plus a car this slow and light doesnt need a big brake kit or performance brake kit (unless you track)...and i'm not about to spend the $$ for that...

HORRIBLE.....

Hey yeah! I said i was going to try to come after work! What time were you guys there till?? I got off at 9...but i was nodding off at the wheel...so i went home to sleep figuring you guys were done already...

[leasaunce]

hahaha, seen the fake sunroof thing from another forums.

as for the brembo fake covers, I got them couple of years ago for my Camry, but the 16" rims were too small for the covers. So just remember, if you have rims that are very close to the calliper...IT MIGHT NOT FIT! they

hi dearest member. I just wanted to know if this is a CALLIPER COVER or the calliper itself. Coz i want to buy one calliper cover like this. Is it availble ? and i want to put it on my yaris, 14'' rim

Later i will take a picture of the cover... They dont melt dont come loose and sorry but they are not going to fit you 14" wheel, i have the medium size and fit very tight in my 15" and guys having a caliper cover is the same shit of having an eye lids a spoiler or a carbon fiber wrap thing its just cosmetic and under $15

[eTiMaGo]

yes but it kinda says "I wish I had $1000 to spend on some good brakes, so I'll make people think that I did!" And huge calipers go sooooo well with tiny lil rotors :wink:

Paint your OEM caliper red/blue/purple/green/gold/whatever, it's easy, it looks good, you could even put on a TRD or Brembo vinyl on the face if you're feeling frisky :smile:

but hey, that's just my opinion, everybody has one.

You really are that guy that goes to Autozone and buys the Type-R badged stuff.

I think those calipers would go great with a set of plastic double blade windshield-wipers. Perhaps in red to match those double-sided stick on covers.

"If you must have color and cool looks, just paint yours and put on some slotted rotors"

I don't want to see a YW member getting laughed at going down the road

[why?]

painting the rear drums and calipers can look really good if it is done right.

that fake sunroof thing is just gross.

[JumpmanYaris]

Completely untrue. I have my suspension painted and I tell you what, it looks great. I get compliments all of the time. I didn't paint much at all to paint my gear. As for stick on covers, well you are "faking the funk". If someone were to ask you how much your Brembo kit cost you, how well they work, where you bought them, how long it to you to install and if you have any issues don't you think you would feel like an ass for having to say, "oh, they are just covers." I know I would.

Here are some pics of my stuff painted:

If you at least paint your stock gear you look like someone that cares and maintains your stuff.

IMHO, painting FTW, cheap fake stuff FTL
