Camaro Caliper Covers, who's got em?
Anyone have these?
http://www.chevymall.com/Camaro-Cali...fo/JS634/1051/ I am wanting to do something like this https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...79739541_n.jpg Is this what I should get? How do I install these (Do I have to take my wheel off to put the cover on? Anyone know of a cheaper method of doing this (Besides painting of course) are there cheaper covers out there?

I bought a set of these a couple of years ago, in red, with the Chevrolet bowtie on them for around $150 if I remember correctly. I fitted them to the car without removing the stock 20 inch wheels, in about 10 minutes tops, and I'm no mechanic. Here's the vid:

I have them, did not remove my wheels, just took some time to fit them on snug and tighten down with limited swing of a ratchet. But probably took me 1/2 for all of them. I like them, and it's easier than painting them.

I have the red ones with SS in front and CAMARO in the rear.
I like them since they make the black wheels stand out even more. |

Have them since summer 2011. Easy install but easier with wheels off. They do protect and reduce brake dust on the wheels.

I also went with the MGP covers and chose the custom engraving option. A bit more pricey, but worth it to me.
The second link you posted looks like someone painted the actual V8 brembo calipers. |

Covering up Brembo's just seems like a sin to me.
 I'd paint them but what ever floats your boat.  Even the V6 brakes can look nice if you polish them smooth and then paint them.

I have had these on for about a year now and love them. I only paid $199 on Amazon, though. $339 seems outrageous.

I had them on my V6 and paid $189 for them. They are the best meaning great looks and they are functional. I never had brake dust on my Giovanna Dalars. These covers can't be beat. I didn't put them on my SS because I don't have the heart to cover up my brembos. I want to enjoy them for a while. Also I hear that with the brembos they are a good fit with the stock wheels but you may need a spacer for certain aftermarket wheels. If you have the V6 its a no brainer. The MGPs are a must have. They really turn an ugly caliper into a work of art. I got more attention with the MGPs than I do with the Brembos!
