Brake caliper size

Does anyone know the size of the calipers of a 2011 camaro ss because I want to buy red covers for mine

Why would you put covers on Brembo's? That's like putting hub caps on your SS wheels. If you want a different color, i'd suggest painting them or powder coating them. IMO, Brembo's are too sexy to cover up.

I know this is old and probably dead but just in case.

Did you ever figure out the sizes? I am looking to get the covers as well. Mostly because I want the red brembo look and painting is not in my budget.

The G2 caliper paint kits only cost $37 and look much nicer than covers imo. Covers will also decrease the performance of your brakes.

Why would you want to add unsprung weight and reduce the calipers ability to dissipate heat? Clean your calipers and call it a day, but don't get your pads or rotors greasy.
