errrr, didn't even know that people would actually buy these
I think they look better than stock calipers, even though they look weird up close
Also, this is one less reason for mustang owners to call every import car rice
and imo, the rotors are way to small for the calipers, especially behind those 5-spoke saleens
but congrats on the new look

The rotors look great, and I do like the covers. I have a question about the covers though...I have always wondered with the wheels installed how much of the actual brake assembly is still visible. Can you take some close up pics?

I know man. I dont drive the car much but figured I'd run into you somewhere. Do any shows?

I'll get some closer pics going tonight when I get home. They cover the whole front of the caliper and leave the top exposed. Me personally I had painted my rotors black already so they match and you cant notice the top.

Jr just out of curiosity why is placing a caliper cover considered rice? Just curious I've heard the term before but not with this kind of application.

Thanks t pony

The covers look good. At $200, I'm going to have to put them waaaaayy at the bottom of my wishlist however.

??? I'm not sure what you mean. Brake ducts and caliper covers are completely different things.
