Default $190 for a set of caliper covers?
Geez. That seems like a lot to me. Can anyone explain why they would cost so much? The video shows them in higher detail.

I know the manufacturers and retailers together really are the ones who set the price, so this is nothing against AM.

What makes me laugh is that he is installed red caliper covers on fairly nice (real) red calipers.

What a ripoff! The ricers might want them to match their oversize fart can exhaust tips.
