I dunno about those.. Personally I like to see the rotors and calipiers... At least it's made from aluminum and not some cheap plastic that would melt al over your set up when it heats up...

Bump..Any pics ??

I thought I saw some clears ones once a few years back, but I dunno.. Neat idea but I also like cleaning mine when I wash the car. It makes me feel as if I've accomplished something when there nice and shiney.

Forget those things. Yeck...

Clean your wheels more often (there, an excuse to spend more time with your car!) and buy better break pads.

I have used them, and I liked them. I had them on a 2000 GT, I have them on my wife's Miata, and I have them on the front wheels on an '85 Mustang GT. I may put them on my '06 GT 'vert if they come out with ones that will work on my 18" Fanblades. Not only do they cut down, or eliminate the dust, they (being flat black) make a good looking wheel "stand out". Just my $.02.

Buy some Hawk ceramic brake pads from Tirerack.com.

Dust goes away.
