J/K but the Brembo upgrade is very high on the "to do" list

Ok seriously guys.
Was about to start a new thread but thought if Im gonna get a bashing, you may as well know what you're bashing me about....

Brembo caliper covers......

I know I know. It aint Kosher, but hey (quote hilltop hoods here)it's so GRAVY it should come with a bowl of rice! I was going to paint the calipers red because it would look phat on my black leggie but then I thought , it's the same price to get those fake covers put on and as bad as it is, they would look pretty good.

So

A quick survey.
On a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being absolutely riced up and unimaginably wrong and 10 being riced up but acceptable given the options)

waddyathink?

(Keep in mind that I have got awesome pads on there atm and I dont ever intend on doing a proper upgrade to the real deal cause (just found out) wife is pregnant again! So no money spent on car for me for 2 week! (she is soup nazi)

Instant ban from the site is the only answer to even a brief contemplation of buying those covers

Sorry dude that would be a big 0 from me. Painting the Calipers in one acceptable colour is fine (don't follow Christians lead with a two tone caliper), I have even considering painting mine, but do not, I repeat DO NOT get Brembo covers. If you get the covers i expect you to put a big Nismo sticker across your window and a 2JZ Inside sicker on the rear quarter panel (and any other accessory you can find at Autobarn, that you think will look cool). :p

But seriously NO. Paint them, even if its a bit more expensive, paint them. It protects the calipers from rust and such and it looks nice.

I will ban you if you put them on
I think we should have banned Christian for the two tone calipers. Give him time to think about what he did :p

OK thanks.
Guess Im painting them then
One: valid reason of overheating - never even thought about that (ricer thoughts)
TWO: i LIKE THIS SITE AND i WANT TO STAY (AND I HATE RANDOM CAPS LOCK TOO!)
THREE: (fark off caps) upon careful reconsideration I was unable to purchase them because of the fact I was too busy punching myself in the face to click 'buy now'

again, thankyou to the greater consciousness (that's a hard word to spell!)that is OZVR4

LOL.. I posted it for laughter.. but as you all know I've got genuine Brembos now.. so you can't ban me anymore :p

VR4SUM.. Please don't buy the covers.. I know I painted my brakes with 2 tone colors, I laughed at myself for doing it.. it was something I wanted to see if it'll match.. but CLEARLY it didnt..

like what SteveP said.. those covers will minimise airflow.. and worse get chewed up by your rims while driving...

Kat I think Dimi deleted his post because he was talking about Christian's calipers, then realised it was a post from 14 months ago :banghead:

I've restored it just 'cause I can :ROFLMAO:
