These are pretty cheesy but they just might look good. Hmmm.

I heard they aren't too good for the brakes as it gets hot there and heat wont escape or something. I could see these causing a problem in the future! Just paint the calipers with a kit.

Yeah I figured heat dissipation would be a problem, just thought they looked kinda cool.

Wow, a cheap way out to look like you have Brembo's....
IMO, just paint the caliper, it's better.
