hi everyone, I am just a daily driver so I want to paint my brakes inteads of spending thousands on Brembo brakes. However, I just found this on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CALIP...mZ230291404332
Does anyone install this before? any comments about this item? what would you recommend me to paint my brake or install this fake brembo cover?
Thank you for your comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldnt do it. I would rather paint it. The obvious problem is brakes get very hot, whats to stop the heat from melting this plastic like cover off?

+1 .... unless you look forward to answering someone's question about your brakes and telling them that they are cheap *** covers from Thailand makes you feel good. If your really that bent on showing off whatever is behind the wheel, just save up and get a decent set you'll be proud of. It definitely sucks in this age of instant gratification but such is life ...

Steer clear of these. There's nothing wrong with your stock brakes. I'd much rather have stock brakes than poser/ricer covers.

Paint your OEM calipers black and leave it at that.

get the covers, itll be a nice little color accent for minimal cost and effort

pay no heed to the comments that relate to buying a product that serves only aesthetic purposes as people that dont care about 'form' wouldn't have gotten a G... also bear in mind that many people buy parts primarily for looks but it just so happens those parts may serve some functional purpose as well
