Because they say Brembo on them, Brembo is a line of high performance brakes. These are just caliper covers, not calipers and are not real Brembo brakes. I like them because they give you something to look at behind the wheels of cars.
Most people around here don't like false badging, but as long as YOU can live with it, it's YOUR car, and YOUR money it shouldn't be anyone else's business.

I'd opt for painting your calipers instead. Just my opinion. Do you have after market wheels? How do they look? Did you look at the option of painting them? I'm going to do that eventually, but will try to find a flat paint instead of gloss.

The ones I had secured with screws, the ones here you are looking here glue on w/ silicone....I'm assuming high temp, but glue....mmmmm...if they come off while driving could do some damage, be careful, even mine with right spacing had this click, click sound when cornering!
I had these red ones, after wreck the ford racing set up is 14" rotors and the real brembos up front then they give upgraded pads for rear and braided steel lines up front and rear...if you put those covers on, I thinking you will have to put 3mm spacers on all wheels or they will rub...the shop , instead of putiing covers back on painted my rear calipers black to match brembos.
