My brother has them on his 7th gen. Fit and look perfect even after 100K. I was gonna do the same on my 8th gen but couldn't justify the $200+ for plastic covers. Good quality otherwise. If you dont mind the price go for them.

I actually ordered those a year ago and ended up returning them because I was too ashamed to put them on my car, lol. I shouldn't care what anyone thinks. Still wish I could afford a bbk.. ive seen them in person and they came off pretty tacky.

Garbage! I have seen a few cars with those covers and they look cheesy as fuaaark. your best bet would be to paint the calipers and then spray some clear coat on them and those calipers would like official also get some stickers and add them before you clear coat them.

Don't be ashamed. Some of my Vette buds buy similar caliper covers, hoping the car show judges like them. I just don't understand. Like you I think they are cheesy-looking, limburger cheesy. What I do is either strip and paint mine, or strip and highly polish so the calipers look chromed, if you like chrome. Some folks really go for the "chromed, but stock" look. I plan to polish my '17 SL calipers first chance I get. Finish the polishing with a couple light coats of hi-temp clear coat.
