Opinion needed.
I been going back and forth with what to do with my caliper.
Thought about painting them, but I really don't like the look. So I decide to go with caliper covers. Just wanted some feed back on the product and to see if anyone have some info on them. Posted a pic of the covers. Thx

I was considering those but in the end thought they were a bit "cheesey". Feel that the red caliper is a played look and a bit "poser" unless original.
Thinking about going the painted route and would probably use silver to keep my calipers as close to original. If I were to chose the covers, I'd choose plain black. "Camaro" is redundant. Don't have an SS but there is an "RS" version, but in my book less is more.

I have a black camaro and will be doing either the black covers or getting them painted black. Either way, they will not have anything written on them, just plain black.

Here's my opinion. Caliper covers are like fake mag wheel hubcaps over steel wheels.

Upgrade your brakes to the Brembos you can with a little searching get a good used set for a decent price and you wont be disapointed with the extra stopping power. Then I take it you will get the look you are going for.

I think the covers are cheesy. I would either keep them as is or doing something a bit more understated like painting them black. If they are the brembos, maybe finish it off with a red or silver brembo logo.

Paint them , They rattle and will drive you nuts, , If you really want your brakes to look cool get drilled and slotted rotors

Painted calipers look way better IMO. The plastic covers look cheap and will rattle. Even using the do-it-yourself kits are cheap and easy to do, although a professional job (powder coat or paint) will look even better.
