Brake caliper covers installed

I know they’re not brembo brakes. Or painted calipers. But it’s the next best option for us V6’ers just going strictly for looks with this one. What do you guys think?

Looks good but imo it would match your car better if they were white with black lettering

I actually was considering white. It was between white, or red.

anyone who thinks they are brembos is an idiot. I can't speak for the op but I put them on because they look good, and are supposed to cut down on brake dust, which they do. painting them didn't look as good.

Looks good. But, what's up with your hood, are those water spots or just a reflection?

I was wondering that too. It looks like bubbles in the wrap or chemical burns

Could be, but we have some really bad water here and my wife's CUV sits out (my cars get the garage). As a result, it gets hit by the sprinkles a lot and that's what hers looks like after a while. I've found a way to easily and cheaply remove them, so if they are water spots, I can pass the info on.

I like the covers. I bought a set of them as well on Black Friday. Mine will be black with red lettering. I like subtle.
