Yeah... they are a little pricey, but there are a couple of good points with them. I used to paint my calipers, but:
1) I got tired of having to repaint them.
2) The covers have a cleaner (smoother) appearance.
3) Most importantly, The covers keep the brake dust off your wheels, which is a BIG deal. Painted calipers through dust on your wheels constantly. With the covers, they stay Perfectly clean a LOT longer.
Are the above things worth $180... probably not, but...
So, yeah, they cost a bit, but they do have benefits that are worth it in the end. IMO.
