Brake Caliper Cover

I was looking for a caliper cover that will cover the ugly metal coating on my brakes. Kind of like the Brembo idea except I just want to find a colored one. Any ideas?

Please don't paint the stock calipers either, it looks so cheap and draws needless attention to an otherwise unimpressive aspect of the car.

just leave the stock calipers alone... if you want something nice but cheap get the stock Brembo Brakes off an 04 coupe or get the new G37 Sport Brakes

I'd paint it the same as stock color as mentioend above. Maybe black as well, but nothing bright like red.
