I don't know, but $200 is a bit too much, no?

And stick on with glue. No thanks on either. 1 is way to pricy for what it is, and the other one, well, I trust glue about this >.< much.

I agree with the rest...200 is a bit much but the stick on glue ones make me nervous. Cool idea though, someone just needs to come in the middle between the two products. I'd get something like this instead of going through the hassle of removing/painting them for sure.

If you get on YouTube and look up "brembo brake covers" there is a video of a guy installing them on a Mustang - and he goes through some pretty thorough tips on what TO and NOT TO do when installing them. One thing is he recommends a much better adhesive product, and advised you where/how to apply the adhesion as opposed to just slapping it on the caliper. I'll see if I can find it....

Found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIuyRKhGPqw

They don't seem to be "too" ghey/ricey. I actually think these are a better look than just a straight standard painted caliper. Let's be honest, our stock calipers, even painted, are an unattractive piece to the eyes behind beautiful wheels!

And FWIW, the MGP ones the OP posted - appears to not be a GLUED on model, but in fact an installed model w/bracketry:

Id rather have blank covers that dont say Brembo, My car isnt equipped with any Brembo equipment. They still look cool though.

Agreed with that last part. I've seen some covers that say "NISSAN" which look nice. If they can be attached so they don't fall off I'd definitely consider it, because I'm either gonna do this or get brake dust covers to cover the whole area up.
