has anyone tried these? wanna get them but wanna be sure they clear the stock wheels and arent gonna fly off. looks like a good way to dress up the tired looking calipers and make it look like i invested a lot of money into my braking system haha

Probably wont clear stock wheels, id imagine youd need 17s or even 18s. Kinda silly though and extra ricey but to each their own!

 

all i can see those doing is capturing heat from the rotors and melting

 

Either way, it's ricetastic!

 

i was serious lol. guess ill just paint the calipers

 

You'd be better off painting your calipers.

 

^^^ That.

Between holding the heat and not staying glued on, I would not get those things.

my .02

 

I'll just paint it, I painted my calipers after I rebuilt it. It painted cast iron. looks good, tired of every tired color of red, black calipers out there I've seen. I thought about blue but it wouldn't match to the color of my car which is Sherwood Green.

 

Bronze looks nice for calipers.

 

They don't glue on there's 2 screws that are disguised as a brake bleeder on 1 side and a brake line on the other side so it clamps on.

 

 

not worth it, buy a caliper paint kit from pep boys for 20, and you can paint yours 10x over with the kit

 

I didn't see that part about screws. Using the link you provided, I scrolled down to the Installation instructions. Here are the installation instructions, cut & pasted:

Installation Guide:

1、Remove the wheels and clear the stock caliper housing.
2、Apply some silicone glue between caliper cover kit and caliper housing (Use the high Quality Silicone Glue (durable with high temp).
3、Attach the caliper cover kit to the caliper housing.
4、Move the caliper cover kit to the suitable position and fix it with temporary paper tape.
5、Apply High Temp Resistance Silicone Sealer to the outside of your existing Brake Calipers (do not let the glue touch the brake pads) and hold in place for 2-4 hours (example below) while on the vehicle.
6、Allow the silicone glue to dry.
7、Reattach the wheel and spin the wheel to check the clearance.
8、You're Finish!

Sorry, I still don't see the part about screws.

 

Or you could just save up and get a real BBK.

 

All this talk about fake BBK's really has craving some Uncle Ben's white rice...

 

 

I has Brembos. I has real, oversized Brembos. And they feel fantastic when I mash the stop pedal.

 

**** YO BREMBOS

 

 

I can't possibly see that being enjoyable.

I found two-piece floating rotors for the Brembos. Unfortunately, only one company makes them. And they haven't produced them in over six months...

 

get em ho.

How much do your stock rotor wiegh anyway. If its 870lbs like those G/Z rotors then yea get some 2 piecers if its not over 20lbs i wouldn't bother.

 

21 lbs each on the front rotors. Good God...I have no idea how much the two-pieces weigh, but I'm going to bet they're in the 15-16 pound range. Surprisingly enough, they're not much more expensive than a decent set of one-pieces from Centric or Ark.

 

I think most metallic colors will look nice. As for the glue on covers, what function will the accomplish aside from looks? Heat build up, possibley coming off and jamming into rotor/ wheels ?
