I want to have that red caliper look for my G. Something like this.
Buying original Brembo calipers are too expensive, so I purchased a set of Brembo caliper covers on eBay and I was unsatisfied with how they fit. Just like these
Without having to actually paint my calipers red with paint (I really would prefer not do to this), what other alternatives do I have to achieve this look? 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.

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.Gary

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.
So much for the support from the community on this forum. Thanks guys, you're the best!
