I dont like them.. I believe in stopping power kind of like fake hood pins. Think it would look funny to see a hood that popped open flipped over on someones roof with the pins in place dangling... I have the same picture in my mind with these brake covers. Ah or the useless little fire extinguishers you have to have for car shows.
I am cool with fake hood scoops, side scoops etc... LOL..

Yes, the price of new ones is a little steep but i was able to pick mine up from a buddy at work who bought used off e-bay for 75 + shipping and then he changed his mind. My price for "taking them off his hands" was $50.00, couldn't really go wrong IMO.

I like them, even though they are a little pricey. Some advantages to them too:
1) VERY clean look. Even better than painted (which I used to do)
2) Acts as a brake dust barrier and keeps your wheels WAY WAY cleaner/longer
3) can be cleaned easily with just a hose and wheel cleaner in about 5 seconds.
Anyway, I vote thumbs up. Here is a pic of mine:

At least from those of us who like them, *some* have given substantive reasons such as, cleanliness, dust protection, customization ect.
*As usual, we can have a 3+page meaningful discussion of the pros and cons of a given product, and the second that a single person uses the word "rice" anywhere in the thread, people will run away screaming like there is plague in the air or something. Funny.
