Caliper Covers?

Hey guys. So I did a search and I've looked around for some OEM caliper covers but I can't find a thing. I searched both the OC and Riverside Ebay stores and can't find them. Am I crazy? Anyone have a link to them? Preferably and Ebay link or a link to Infiniti.

Thanks all! If I remember correctly they were a silver/platinum color with Infiniti written on them in black.

There is no oem caliper cover, only the aftermarket ones which I personally don't recommend.

Is that due to style or quality? My calipers are just starting to fade and look old/dirty even if I clean them. I'm just looking to restore the clean look with something that is subtle.

I hope you don't take offense at my comment, but there's nothing subtle about caliper covers.

For those in the know, they'll think you're tacky... "rice" even.

For those that aren't, will never notice.

If you want them clean and subtle, paint them silver or black.

^ whs, paint them with G2 caliper paint after thoroughly cleaning them with a wire brush in any subtle color you like and that should look and hold much better than those covers which are easily identified as being fake and cheap imo.

Or you could get MGP caliper covers which are not shaped to look like brembos and actually look nice in black as iv seen on many cars in recent times only downside is the price in comparison(can get em from ~$150 if you look around other than directly from them) i wouldve got these in black if i had that much to spare and just black out the fake screws image. But if in the end if you still like brembo style covers then thats what you should do.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but . . . perhaps.

Check the market place section brake vendors. You will not find it easily on the web used or new. If I'm not mistaken you will need to upgrade your rotor size etc. if not already a "s model". Once I'm on my laptop I will post the link.

Please don't put caliper covers over your OEM brakes, don't fake the funk! Get a BBK or paint your OEM calipers sliver or black.
