CALIPER COVER!
OK don't flame me but im on the fence about painting my calipers... All of them I've seen in person have not looked perfect, and Im not sure about it. I came across these...
Www.calipercovers.net ... Not as ricey as the fake brembos or we, and they have mustang lettering engraved. I know some will find this ricey but honestly, I think its no worse than painting the calipers as in both cases we are trying to emulate the look pioneered by brembo or other BBK manufacturers.
Either way, I'd like to know everyones experience, opinion and suggestions about this...
If anyone has any pics of them, on their car, that would be great too.

RE: Caliper Cover
Would covers cause the calipers to retain heat?. Definately, however these seem different than the covers i've seen in the past in the sense that, they do not cover the whole caliper and my guess would be that adequate airflow is still supplied... I Could be wrong... But unless I was racing on a track, I dont see it causing enough of a difference to affect braking performance.

Thanks for the link... Id still like to see some more pics, with the wheels on etc. To see if they look finished, or like a tacky stick on part...
