Alright dont jump down my throat on this one but I'm lookin for these caliper covers

Alright so I know everyone says caliper covers are rice and what not but even painted the shape of the maxima caliper just kills the look. I was originally going to paint (and still may) the calipers with G2 black paint and I just bought silver caliper decals.

But after seeing these pics I think these caliper covers could look a lot better than caliper paint, plus G2 aint cheap. I am not a fan of the carbon fiber so I would just paint them black and put the silver decals on there, but the shape of the caliper cover is much better than the maxima calipers, it gives the appearence of a similar shape to the 300zx calipers.


here is what I am talkin about.

Of course a true BBK looks better but I dont have more money than god... so a true BBK is really never gonna happen. I dont even know if I'de want the 300zx brakes without doing the rear brakes as well because I wouldent want to throw the brake bias off too much.

anyway forget it about the caliper covers. I found out where he got them and they are WAY too much money for me to justify it.

But here is the lik for them in case anyone else is interested

And king's fog lights won't be easy to get, they have to be imported.
