+1, I wouldn't get any. caliper covers scream "I'm pretending to have a big brake kit!", and everyone even remotely car savvy can spot them a mile away.

they are embarrassing, it's a ricey kind of mod. I am sure many will defend it but .. it's not for me.

Neither... You will sound stupid when someone says "Hey, what kind of brakes you have," then you reply, "Oh, they are not brembo's, they are just covers so they can look like they are a big brake kit." Also, it will look like crap if you are a perfectionist. The calipers covers are Huge in comparison to the stock rotors.

Another issue to consider is, I've seen others on this forum that considered them, and there seems to be a fitment problem on 2010 and up... Might want to do a search or look at comments on the AM website

Caliper covers = monumental fail. I cringe when I see Mustangs with them.

A lot of fanny packs are sold too so might get one of those as well, right?
