Are there any other covers out there that fit better? What are my options? Are there even anyother options? Maybe somebody knows about a product that I don't.
Brembo covers are like a fake intercooler you'd put in your grille, why would you want to? When you want things to look right ya gotta take the time and have the patience to get it there. There's no easy or quick way to make your calipers red. You need to pull the wheels, spend a lot of time cleaning the calipers then spend more time taping everything off to keep from having overspray. Finally you paint and let them sit for a few hours before reinstalling the wheels, but you're done....and right! Make sure you use Hi Heat paint, just another example of doing the job right.

The brembos look nice, but the '05 and up have larger rotors and pads = better stopping.

2005-2007 rotors are:
Front: 12.6-inch x 1.1-inch power-assisted vented disc
Rear: 12.1-inch x 0.63-inch power-assisted vented disc

FSM for 2004 Brembo-equipped coupe shows:
Front: Rotor outer diameter × thickness 324 × 30 (12.76" × 1.18")
Rear: Rotor outer diameter × thickness 322 × 22 (13.07" × 0.87")

Nobody on this forum is going to support you putting caliper covers on your car to make it look like you have Brembos. It's cheap and just junking up your car. Sorry, but if you want people here to be understanding, paint your stock calipers or save up to get Brembos. Either way, no one will approve of you putting these on your car.
