calipercovers.net . Mike over there is very cool and has a great product on his hand. I am in CA so I got charged sales tax. The set was like $220 with tax and shipping. they have different colors too and you can get the set or just front or just rear.

Those caliper covers look great, but the price is very high!!! The black ones would look great with this black fuel door

Like the caliper covers but not the price but it beats the 1300-2000 dollar 6 or 8 piston calipers though the stopping power would be nice (esp with FI). Car looks great !

Just checked out that site, those are pretty cool, not sure I can convince myself to spend that much money for them though.

They look really good but like others have said, not sure i'd drop that kind of money on them. Lots of other things i'd rather have. They do set the wheels off nicely

Great job on the mods! I'm a fan of the caliper covers, despite the load of "poser/rice" comments on another thread. Your car looks great.

I can see some of your points when it comes to the price, but if you really think about it, $189 for a set of four is not much really. When your car is moving, these things stare right at you. They are nicely made and are powder coated for durability. Any way, I think this guy is sitting on a gold mine when he has all the other enthusiast based car models to offer. I have received some PM's for more pics, I hope this covers it. I will see if I cant get a short video of my car while in motion today.

I think they give the car a much cleaner look than the stock calipers.

Caliper paint and decals would be a cheaper alternative. Car looks great!
