You mean like these?



nupe is right, they are from NISMO. BTW, if you want the crossdrilled brake covers you see in my pic also, those you can just pick up from Autozone or the like.





BTW, I cannot believe anyone can be this clueless...

Do you want the entire caliper that says Nissan on it, or just the pretty picture?

What hasn't been answered yet? Those 'break covers' (sic) are just painted brake calipers, the Nissan logo can be painted on, or it can be a sticker, or etched on to the caliper itself, etc..

Ok Newb lesson on brakes. Those are 300ZX brake calipers that say Nissan on them. They have been painted or power coated. Typically mods like this are not needed for our car unless you track (road course, autocross) your car or you have huge rims and don't like the look of the smaller brakes and wish to compensate for something. It is more popular to get 300ZX ones since they are cheaper, easier to find, and have better selection with brake pads over aftermarket ones. They are not covers.

They do sell stickers that say nissan for brake calipers and you can buy brake paint for pretty cheap. The brush on kind is better.

Now start getting a clue how Maximas work and how to mod them before posting stuff that makes you look like an idiot. You may not be, but you sure made yourself look like one. Start by reading the FAQs, stickies, and reposts. Google is also your friend.

You should get these covers instead. They say "racing" on them and are therefore much cooler

These brake caliper covers are new to me, I can honestly say I have never seen them before. And to think, I could have saved $30 by buying those instead of getting mine powder coated!

xenonmods.com selles the decals for 7.99 And AZ sells the paint for the same price.

Listen real close... Those are not COVERS! Those are whole new calipers and rotors. This is not just buy and couple parts and slap it on. You need new calipers, new pads, new rotors, brackets, and new brake lines. You also need wheels with enough offset to clear the calipers. You are looking at $700 - $2000+, depending on your wheels. These are used to make your maxima stop better, not to make your car look... sweet The 6th gens already have bigger brakes. Go waste your money on some neon lights, a big wing, and a 10" racing tach so your car can look... sweet, or bust out your krylon and paint your calipers silver. No offense, but you seriously sound like you 15 and not very smart.
