Brakes Custom Infiniti Caliper Covers?

OK, so I want some red caliper covers or something but I dont want to look ricey. I was thinking I could buy some caliper covers off ebay (like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Calip...spagenameZWDVW minus the endless markings) and then get an infiniti sticker ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...16#ht_1213wt_0 and paint them white so it would look better with the red) and then put those calipers over my oem infiniti brakes. this idea goes for all the g owners out there without the brembo brakes pretty much...would this work?

IDK if it's ricey cause I don't know the definition of that term but IMHO it would be pretty queer.

I just dont see why you want to pose that you have something you dont. Not bashing you, its just my opinion

right but its not posing at all. its the stock infiniti caliper, thus, you might as well make it look good but still have the infiniti logo on there

The ad doesn't say what they're made of but they look like plastic. Brakes generate a lot of heat so I don't see that combination being that durable. Also, you glue these covers onto the calipers - what happens if you have to change pads? I personally wouldn't get them.

Better options: get some high temp caliper paint or just get some real Brembos
